So my midwife suggested I get a lab confirmed pregnancy test for the birth certificate (i'm in GA). I went Monday, got the results today. It states "Positive" under the results column and "abnormal" under the flags column. The test is called " hCG, beta subunit, qual, serum".
All I wanted was the positive/negative....
: what am I supposed to make of this abnormal?? According to their website, the use for this test appears to be:
Qualitative detection of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) provides a sensitive and specific test for the detection of early pregnancy, diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion; follow up molar pregnancy
I'm 25 weeks this Sat, wouldnt I know by now if my pregnancy was abnormal by this description?
I've got a call in to my midwife to ask her opinion.
ETA...Oh dear, this is rediculous......I called LabCorb (the lab) and she said it states abnormal b/c "negative" is considered "normal" under the flags column. So I'm abnormal b/c I'm pregnant,....Thats ok as long as I know what abnormal means. What a way to screw with your head. The word ABNORMAL shouldnt read on ANY lab test without some sort of explanation!!
