Pregnancy / OB Lab Panel
A focused pregnancy-related laboratory panel combining quantitative pregnancy hormone testing, progesterone, and urinary evaluation.
About this test
A selected group of pregnancy-related tests. Check the current list below with your obstetric clinician.
Common reasons for testing
- Clinician-directed early pregnancy laboratory follow-up.
These are examples of clinical uses. Your history and symptoms determine whether testing is appropriate.
What to expect
The collection depends on the tests listed in this panel. Blood tests can usually be collected in one visit; urine or other specimens have separate instructions. Confirm the current included tests before booking.
Appointment length
Your visit is expected to take about 15 minutes at our West Ashley location.
Categories
What's included
- Quantitative Beta hCG
- Progesterone
- Routine Urinalysis
Preparation
- Bring pregnancy dates and earlier hCG or ultrasound results. Coordinate any repeat blood draws with your obstetric team.
- Follow collection instructions for any included urine testing.
- Bring a list of medicines and supplements, including biotin, vitamins, and hormones. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines unless your clinician tells you to.
Instructions for this appointment
- If your estimated gestational age is relevant, we will ask for it during booking. No special preparation is required at your appointment.
Follow the instructions confirmed for your order. If they differ from the general guidance, contact the team before changing food, fluids, or medicines.
Order requirement
No outside order needed
Understanding your results
- This is not a complete prenatal panel.
- hCG and progesterone do not establish pregnancy location or viability on their own. Routine urinalysis is not a substitute for a prenatal urine culture.
What happens next?
Review the report with your clinician alongside your symptoms, medical history, and earlier results. A value outside the reference range does not always mean disease, and a normal result does not explain every symptom. Confirm who will arrange any repeat or additional testing.
When to seek care sooner
Pain, fainting, or heavy bleeding in a possible pregnancy needs urgent assessment rather than waiting for scheduled testing.
