How long does it typically take for hospitals to screen blood after a donation? I donated on Saturday around 11 am and now it's been over 30 hours since then. I'm just wondering if they've already screened my blood or not.

I've just gone through my general health check-up, and while everything seems normal, my lymphocytes are at 48, and the absolute lymphocyte count is 3312. Should I be worried about these high lymphocyte levels, or is this considered normal?

A negative HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) 4 days after IUI doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant. Possible reasons for a false negative: 1. _Too early_: HCG levels might not be high enough to detect. 2. _Insufficient HCG sensitivity_: HPT sensitivity varies; some tests might not detect low HCG levels. 3. _Diluted urine_: If you drank excessive water before testing, your urine might be too diluted. Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.
