Get an early pregnancy confirmation or monitor your pregnancy
Our early pregnancy test quantitatively measures the amount of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone in your blood, which can detect pregnancy at the earliest possible stage, even before a missed period. hCG rises in the early days of pregnancy, usually doubling every two to three days, and peaking by the 11th week. This test can also be used if you are already pregnant and want reassurance that the first stage is progressing as it should be.
Results are usually available on the same day.
Comparing this test with the urine pregnancy test kit
A hCG blood test is more precise than a urine test as it can detect very small levels of hCG hormone. It is useful if you want to confirm pregnancy in the very early stages — usually within 7 to 10 days after conception.
A hCG blood test can also help monitor pregnancy to make sure everything is as it should be. hCG levels normally double every two days during the first few weeks of pregnancy. If the levels don’t rise, it might suggest a problem with the pregnancy. Extremely high hCG levels might mean that you’re carrying twins, but confirmation should be sought from an ultrasound scan.
