The process for pregnancy testing at a hospital is generally as follows: 1. Registration: Go to the hospital registration desk and select an appointment for the obstetrics and gynecology or reproductive medicine department. 2. Consultation with the doctor: After waiting for your number to be called in the gynecology outpatient clinic, explain your situation to the doctor, including your sexual history and the duration of your delayed menstruation. 3. Initial examination: The doctor may issue a request form for blood tests or urine tests to measure HCG levels, which are an important indicator for determining pregnancy. Additionally, a gynecological examination or ultrasound may be performed as needed to confirm pregnancy and determine the location of the gestational sac. 4. Payment and testing: After paying the fees, go to the laboratory to provide a blood or urine sample. If an ultrasound is required, you will need to fill your bladder beforehand. 5. Waiting for results: In most cases, test results will be available on the same day. Based on the results, the doctor will provide a conclusion regarding pregnancy and any necessary follow-up recommendations.
