Does a standard blood test test for hCG?
No, that definitely wouldn’t be part of a routine blood panel – normally then they’re checking things like liver function, red blood cell count – basic things – maybe even cholesterol…you could call the lab to double check they should be able to tell you or your doctor/doctor’s nurse certainly can…the only time they would run an HcG with a panel is if they’re doing something like pre-pregnancy testing just to make sure you’re not pregnant or test before a procedure to make sure you’re not pregnant…
