Pregnancy Test - Beta hCG (Quantitative)
Check your beta-hCG levels to confirm pregnancy. This blood test detects lower levels than urine tests, making it ideal for early confirmation and monitoring.
The beta-hCG test is a reliable method for confirming pregnancy as early as possible. Many women prefer to monitor their beta-hCG levels regularly, especially during the first trimester, as levels typically rise steadily and then stabilize for the remainder of the pregnancy.
Tracking the increase in beta-hCG can provide reassurance. If levels plateau during the first 10 weeks, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional, as this may indicate potential issues with the pregnancy's progression.
This quantitative test can also offer a general estimate of the pregnancy's age. While the normal range is quite broad, it can provide useful insights into gestational age.
Note: In rare cases, beta-hCG may be produced by certain types of cancer. If there are any concerns, seeking medical advice is essential.
The test can be performed using a finger-prick home sample or a phlebotomy sample collected at any of our nationwide partner locations.
