What is a Pregnancy Blood Test?

A pregnancy Blood Test at Home checks a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in your blood. The production of this hormone begins right after a fertilised egg attaches to the uterus, often 6 to 8 days after ovulation. Blood tests are more accurate than urine tests because they detect pregnancy earlier.  

Types Of Blood Tests:

There are 2 kinds of blood tests.

• Qualitative hCG test: Verifies the presence of hCG with a yes or no response.
• Quantitative hCG test: Also known as beta hCG, measures the exact amount of hCG, monitors pregnancy, and detects issues.
