Pregnancy - Beta HCG (Quantitative)

Want to Confirm Pregnancy as Early as Possible?

This test detects pregnancy sooner and more accurately than a urine test — and it can help you track the progression of early pregnancy, providing peace of mind in those first uncertain weeks.

What this test includes:

This is a quantitative beta-hCG blood test, which measures the exact level of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your blood.

• Early detection: hCG appears in the blood before it shows up in urine, making this the most sensitive method to confirm pregnancy.
• Tracking progression: In a healthy pregnancy, hCG levels double every 48–72 hours during the first trimester. A steady rise is a reassuring sign.
• Estimate pregnancy stage: While ranges vary widely, your hCG level can give a general idea of how far along you might be.
• Detect issues early: If hCG levels stop rising, it may be a sign of a pregnancy that isn't progressing as expected — and a reason to speak to a healthcare professional promptly.

Blood test vs. home urine test:

Unlike over-the-counter pregnancy tests, which give a yes/no result based on whether hCG has reached a certain level in your urine, this blood test gives a precise measurement. It’s:

• More accurate in early pregnancy
• Better for tracking trends over time
• More informative if you've had previous pregnancy concerns

Why get tested?

Whether you’re trying to conceive, tracking a pregnancy, or just want more certainty, this test provides clear, clinical insight that you won’t get from a home kit.

Please note: In rare cases, beta-hCG can be produced by certain types of cancer. If you’re not pregnant and your hCG is elevated, you should speak to a doctor to rule out other causes.
