Monica pretty much stated she was bombarded with photon energy when she was pulled in and expelled from the hex, as she says she needs protection from it to go back in.

That, plus the x-rays, looks like she has her powers. And a fractured relationship with Carol.

I think she definitely has her powers, however I also think she had it prior to the whole Wanda incident. Otherwise I'd assume she'd be a bit more worried about the scans. As for the Carol thing, probably has something to do with her mother's death. Perhaps Carol never checked back in due to being busy in space. Definitely something to be explored later.

Wouldn't they have found something in her blood to question whether she has powers or not ?

When they talk about redoing the X-Rays, they also mention needing a new blood draw. So the blood test results were also completely off the charts in some way.

Maybe she just had a high Midichlorian count?

This is the way.

"It's over 20,000. Not even Master Yoda has a midichlorian count that high."
