Blood tests are used to determine physiological and biochemical states such as disease, mineral content, drug effectiveness, and organ function.
Venipuncture is useful as it is a relatively non-invasive way to obtain cells, and extracellular fluid (plasma), from the body for analysis. Since blood flows throughout the body, acting as a medium for providing oxygen and nutrients, and drawing waste products back to the excretory systems for disposal, the state of the bloodstream affects, or is affected by, many medical conditions. For these reasons, blood tests are the most commonly performed medical tests.
Although the term blood test is used, most routine tests (except for most haematology) are done on plasma or serum
This is what they look for in a blood test:
1. Pregnancy
2. Glucose levels
3. Magnesium levels,
4. iron levels
5. Bacterial levels
6. Blood gas levels
7. Oxygen levels
8. Sodium
9. potassium
10. chloride
11. bicorbonate,
12. blood urea nitrogen
13. creatine
14. calcium
15. glucose
16. cholesterol level
17. carbon dioxide levels,
18. pulmonary function
19. arterial blood gas
20. glucose intolerance
21. urea
and many many many more

Yes, there is a blood test that measure Hcg in the blood. This level can not only tell you if you are pregant but also if it is too high it can alert doctors to look for possible problems or multiple babies.
Yes you can have a blood test taken to see if you are pregnant or not, if you are and older women going through menopause this could affect your period, if you are on fertility drugs or to check to see if everything is ok. a lot can be told through blood work. If you are just curious if you are pregnant or not a simple pregnancy test kit you can buy from the drug store will give and accurate reading
Yes. A blood test is actually more reliable than a regular drugstore pregnancy test
