What will the blood test I am having show?

There are lots of different kinds of tests they can run. And they’ll only have so much blood to work with.

If pregnancy is a condition which could lead to complications for your particular problem or its treatment, then I wouldn’t be surprised if a pregnancy test was included.

Of course, I have no direct way of knowing though. Best bet is to ask your nearest medical professional.

If they’re measuring your thyroid levels only, they will not do a pregnancy test. These are separate tests. The tests they will do are checked off on the lab slip that you will take with you when you go to get your blood drawn. Look at the slip – T4, T3 and TSH should be checked off, these are thyroid hormone levels. There should be a spot for a pregnancy test elsewhere, and it will not be checked off.

If you WANT them to do a pregnancy test, mention it and I’m sure they can add it to your labs. Or hell, just check it off yourself. If you don’t want them to, they will not without you or your doc asking them to – or basically without that little box being checked.

edited to add: It is important that your doc know if you’re pregnant if you have thyroid problems! Simply being hyperthyroid while pregnant can cause miscarriages. Here is more info about pregnancy and thyroid disease.

What @fireinthepriory said—I actually had blood taken this morning for some standard tests.

They only do the tests requested by the doctor (frequently more tests == more blood samples, so they only take the vials they need). The labs never run tests unasked for (they don’t get paid for those, for that mattern).

And, IIRC, the Thyroid tests are all on their own.

They only test what the doctor orders to test. If you think you might be pregnant tell your doctor, espcially if you have hormones problems. They will test thyroid, HCG, and maybe Progesterone also.

What tests did your doctor order? Thyroid testing is just that.. testing your thyroid levels. If you suspect you are pregnant, the doctor would have to order a specific test for that. The lab will not run any tests the doctor hasn’t ordered.
