hcg tests


Question Posted Tuesday February 27 2007, 10:52 am

so ive been going to the doctor to find out why im so sick. i went in to get my cat scan thing and in the middle of it the girl came out and asked when my last period was and i said like 5 days ago but said it was weird. so they made me take a pregnancy test. it should only be taking 5 min in there so the doctors made up this excuse for my parents that they did a kidney test instead. but to my question. on the bill medical bill it will say hgc test instead of some kidney test. my mom has had 2 kids but she doesnt do any medical stuff except she used to be like some receptionist for a hospital. do you think she would no that the hcg test is a pregnancy test? she cannnt find out. it was negative, but she would still no that im having sex with my boyfriend and then i couldnt see him anymore.

My guess is that she won't even notice it. If she does notice it, she'll probably know what it is. Most women do. You can get by this though. Quite easily, actually.

Most of the time when you go in for a physical or anything, the doctor will ask you if you have a boyfriend. That's pretty standard. If you answer yes, they assume that you are having a sexual relationship with him and they'll start talking about birth control and safe sex. They make this assumption because if they ask directly, teens will tend to lie out of embarrassment or for fear of being found out by their parents. They never ask if you're actually having sex. Since you have a boyfriend, they just take all the precautions and make sure you know how to protect yourself. Try to remember exactly what they asked you. Did they ever ask if you were having sex? Did they even ask if you had a boyfriend or did they just ask about your period? If they never asked if you were having sex, it's your own guilty conscience that has got you worried.

If your mom questions you, just tell her that you told them your period was strange last month, you said yes, and they did the test as a standard procedure. This could pose problems because mothers are usually pretty darn smart. She probably has a good idea that you are having sex with him anyways. Scary right? If you can't beat around the bush and she keeps asking directly if you are having sex with your boyfriend, which she very well might do, you can, of course, tell a huge lie. I'm not normally one to condone lying, but that's probably the best way to handle it.

If you don't want to lie or are a really bad liar, just tell her the truth. Who really knows what she would do. You don't know that she would forbid you from seeing him. She might actually be supportive of you or happy that you told her the truth (a truth she already "knew"). Parents can really surprise you sometimes. Plus, even if she does forbid you from seeing him, she can't realistically do that. It'll put some stress on your relationship with your boyfriend if you don't have her blessing, but there are so many ways to get around your parents it's ridiculous. Her telling you that you can't see him doesn't mean much at all. You'd be risking getting into a lot of trouble if you were found out, but how bad could the punishment possibly be? Being grounded for a few weeks is worth seeing him a few times right?

Anyways, I'd like to end with telling you to make sure that you're being very careful. Use protection every single time. More than one type whenever possible. It sounds like you have been, but a scare like this really puts things into perspective. I would even suggest that you get on some type of birth control pills if you are going to keep having sex. You don't want your mom to have to find out that you're having sex with your boyfriend by noticing that you are pregnant. That would be the end of your life as you know it in so many ways. It would be much worse than if she found out from a pregnancy test that came out negative. The best advice I can give you is to stop having sex. You can do other sexual things, but actual intercourse is just not a good idea to do all the time if you want to avoid pregnancy, especially at a young age. It really isn't worth it. Good luck!
