A pregnancy blood test checks for the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced during pregnancy. It can detect pregnancy earlier than a home urine test.
A blood test can detect pregnancy as early as 6 to 8 days after ovulation, making it more sensitive than home urine tests.
There are two main types of pregnancy blood tests:
Qualitative hCG test: Confirms whether hCG is present (Yes/No result).
Quantitative hCG test: Measures the exact level of hCG in your blood, useful for tracking pregnancy progression.
Yes, blood tests are more sensitive and can detect pregnancy earlier than urine tests, as they can detect lower levels of hCG.
No, fasting is not required for a pregnancy blood test. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results from a pregnancy blood test can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the lab.
False positives are rare but can occur due to certain medications or medical conditions. False negatives may occur if the test is done too early when hCG levels are still low.
In early pregnancy, hCG levels can vary widely, typically ranging from 5 to 50 mIU/mL at 3 weeks, and increasing rapidly as the pregnancy progresses.
If you have a positive home pregnancy test, your doctor may recommend a blood test to confirm the pregnancy and monitor hCG levels, especially if you have a history of complications.
Yes, a quantitative hCG test can help detect abnormal pregnancies (e.g., ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage) and other conditions like trophoblastic disease.
