Pregnancy Check In Clinic/hospital - Costs?

[atelko]

Hey guys,

I would like to know how much it will cost if a woman is pregnant or not. I mean ultrasonic and probably also an urine test.

Thanks for your help

With apologizes [grin}, free if she's not pregnant, $200,000 over the next 18 years if she is.

If the idea is simply to find out if a woman is pregant, a few hundred baht at any hospital or clinic for a urine test, somewhat more for a blood test.

You can also buy home pregnancy test kits at Boots and other pharmacies. The inserts should tell you at what number of weeks the test is reliable ad the percentage of false negative results; false positive highly unlikely.

If the pregnancy is going to be continued, then you are looking at pre-natal care. for which most hospitals offer packages, often inclusive of delivery. Ultrasound at intervals would be pary of package. Rates vary greatly by hospital.

If the pregnancy is going to be terminated, ultrasound not necessary unless physical examination indicates that the pregnancy might be >2months along at which point it becomes important to accurately assess gestation.

The problem is, that she made those anti baby injections, that last about 3 months. so a urine test can be false. if a blood test would be also not correct because of that injection..i don´t know.

because one injections was not working any more and after getting a new injection there was an unsafe time of about one month...and she has the typical starting symptomes. but maybe it comes from hanging around in the apartment all the day. i hope so

heard taht some clinics often say somebody is not pregnant and send her home and after a a while they find out by themself by seeing their stomach getting bigger and bigger....

Pregnancy tests check for the presence of a hormone called HCG, present only in pregnancy.

The hormones in birth control injections and pills are entirely different.

and when is it possible to get a reliable result by checking the HCG hormone in a blood test?

Is it too low in the first 1-3 months or is it always possible to check. even in the first months?

[Sheryl]

HCG is detectable in blood and urine within just a few weeks of conception, i.e. around when the period is first missed.
