hello everyone. i recently went to my dr to get a blood test to do a PG test because i havn't had my period since the end of november. the lab i had to go to told me it would like 2-3 days for my dr's office to get my results. my dr's office said it'll be 2 weeks before i get my results...why does it take so long before I can know? isn't this something important i should be able to know about asap???

So i was wondering should i go to like an urgent care that does blood tests and can give me the results sooner and pay all of it out of pocket or should i just wait the 2 weeks? any advice would be great.

Hi there... that is really strange... you should be able to get your results from a pregnancy blood test in at least a day. If perhaps the lab they send the blood to is located out of office, then 2 days at the most. But i've never heard of it taking 2 weeks. That's ridiculous. I would call them and ask why it would take so long.... sometimes dr's office don't bother calling right away with results (mabye that's why they said 2 weeks), but if you call them back yourself in
