Pregnancy Beta hCG Blood Test
Pregnancy Beta hCG Blood Test
Pregnancy Beta hCG blood test is a pregnancy test that measures the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG or hCG) level in the blood. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is also known as the “pregnancy hormone” and is produced by cells in the placenta. The pregnancy Beta hCG blood test gives the specific level of hCG in the blood which will confirm if you are pregnant or not and if you are pregnant can help determine how far along you are.
HCG appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception. Since hCG increases over time in early pregnancy, repeat tests can help determine if the pregnancy is progressing as expected.
Results are usually back on the same day if the sample is taken in the morning, unfortunately we can not guarantee this as it depends on the availability of the lab’s courier.
Please note that this service does not include counselling or explaining of results. We would recommend patients only book these tests if instructed to do so by a specialist.
This blood test is processed by The Doctors Lab (TDL) in London.
