But before test she ate full stomach breakfast and drank coffee n tea too around 11am and got test around 1230. I feel it's wrong . The test was done without prescription.

An empty stomach is not needed for a blood test to detect pregnancy . Hopefully it's beta hcg u talking about . However u haven't mentioned what was the test asked for.
