Reply to comment by EmilyU1F984 in In House M. D. there is an episode in which the doc asked the lady who was concerned about weight gain. Doc asked her to raise their hand and by seeing that he was able to determine she was pregnant. Do arms and pregnancy have some correlation? by Abhinav_Mani
you speak rationally but many 'working class' don't have the know how or time to do that

That‘s why I complained about this not being a standard recommendation by prescribing physicians. Not about laypeople not knowing everything.

well it may be recommenced but the outcome is the same; due to limited time, distrust and resources of many people

Nah it‘s not recommended in the first place. That‘s the major problem.
Otherwise: 50 cents a month is cheaper than the eventual late term abortion or full term pregnancy.
The problem is people not being given adequate information to make informed healthcare choices. Not poverty itself. In this case specifically.

Have you considered the huge amount of plastic production and chemical waste that would take place if every user of a Bc implant started testing monthly? We are talking a very large amount of pregnancy tests here. Millions upon millions of people around the world have these implants, you want to multiply that by 36 for the duration of the implant, can’t you see how astronomically wasteful and damaging to the planet that would be?

Mate I’m saying that‘s how it is, because it’s not standard practice. Individual physicians going above and beyond official guidelines is commendable but not standard practice.
Just like painkillers and anesthesia isn‘t standard.
