The Pregnancy Blood Test measures human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone produced during pregnancy, providing accurate confirmation even before a missed period. Unlike urine tests, blood tests can detect lower levels of hCG, making them ideal for early pregnancy detection and monitoring hormone progression in the first weeks of pregnancy.

This test is ideal for women seeking early pregnancy confirmation, those with irregular periods who may miss the window for urine testing, anyone monitoring hCG levels after fertility treatment or early pregnancy complications, and individuals wanting more sensitive and reliable results than home urine tests.

Sample Collection Timing: For best results, collect your sample at least 10 days after a missed menstrual period, or 14 days after potential conception. Testing too early may result in a false negative if hCG levels are still too low to detect. Medications and Supplements: Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test; discuss this with your doctor if biotin is prescribed. Test Limitations: This test detects the presence of hCG to confirm pregnancy but does not provide information about pregnancy viability, location (ruling out ectopic pregnancy), or gestational age. If you have concerns about pregnancy complications, please consult your doctor or midwife.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a pregnancy hormone produced by the placenta shortly after a fertilised egg implants in the uterine wall. The hormone hCG starts to be produced around six days after fertilisation and can usually be detected in blood approximately 10 days after a missed menstrual period. Blood tests measure beta-hCG, the specific subunit that confirms pregnancy. hCG levels typically double every 48-72 hours in early pregnancy, making it useful for monitoring pregnancy progression.

Frequently asked questions

Blood beta-hCG tests can detect pregnancy from approximately 10 days after conception, often before a missed period. Blood tests are more sensitive than urine home tests.

hCG doubles roughly every 48-72 hours in early pregnancy. A single reading confirms pregnancy but cannot determine exact gestational age. Your doctor looks at the trend over 2-3 days.

No.

Fertility treatments containing hCG (trigger shots) can cause positive results. Discuss timing with your clinic.
