Denied preggo bloodwork test until I'm 6 weeks?!

Question

***UPDATE: 
You guys are amazing!!!
You were right when you said I was already about 4 weeks along. I never knew how to calculate that! So I called my obgyn office and they said my insurance covers my wellness exam. I only have to pay for the pregnancy appointment, which I was able to schedule for July 17. That's about 2 1/2 weeks away! Thanks for your advice ladies. You rock! Now I feel butterflies in my stomach 🦋 🦋 🦋😍😍😍***

***ORIGINAL POST***
So far I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I've taken 5 or 6 tests in the past 3 days (3 different brands) and they all came back positive and lines getting darker.

I have a wellness women's exam on July 10th, and called my obgyn office to see if they'll also do pregnancy blood work to confirm, and they told me no.

Basically they told me that they won't do any of that until it's been 6 or 7 weeks, then they can do verification. But by 6 weeks I'll be more than sure if I am or not lol.

Does this sound right for them to deny me that? They won't even let me come in to just do blood work for it. I'm confused. I just want the blood work done so I can be positive. Or can that also only be done later?

I called my General doctor, but they only do urine tests.

Answer

I mean, based on those tests you're pregnant. Honestly I don't understand why everyone is so insistent on getting blood work done. I just went to my doctor and they comfirmed through a test then I had my prenatal blood work done. But I didn't need blood work to confirm pregnancy. And from the looks of it I don't think you should either. Lol congratulations!! 💜💜

Answer

Our OB never had us do a blood test. She said that it was an unneccesary expense.

Answer

Seems pretty reasonable. You can say from your tests that you're definitely pregnant at this point. It's only like a two week wait

Answer

Every doctor is different. You just need to trust what they say.

Answer

Another options is to call a different time and tell them you have no idea how long ago your last cycle was. I bet they would do it😊

Answer

I have an issue with my at home test or even urine test showing so I get blood test ordered. I'm in Wisconsin btw.  The thing that got me is they wouldn't give me an ultrasound @ 8 weeks because they said the heart beat can't be detected. Lies. But unfortunately 2.5 weeks later I miscarried and lost 2 pints of blood. I never heard the heart beat because they didn't want to do the U.S.... this was 2016 I've had 2 M.C in that year. I've given up and back on BC because I'm not fond of what doctors I have access to right now

Answer

I've gotten blood test done at Patient First before (if you have one in your area). They had the results in 10 mins.

Answer

The only reason my doc will do bloodwork before 7 weeks is if there is a history of loss, or if she's put you on meds to achieve pregnancy. I've had 10 losses, and as soon as I get even the faintest positive hpt, she wants me to come in for blood monitoring. This is only because of my history. It's not really necessary to confirm with a blood test after getting a positive hpt.

Answer

That is a little annoying but you don't need bloodwork to confirm you're pregnant! All of these tests are SUPER positive! No doubt about it. Congrats ☺️

Answer

My practice won't see you til you're 8 weeks....and they don't verify with blood work, they verify by ultrasound. They will give a urine test but that can be done at home. :/
