My home strip showed two lines but one was very light. Thinking of going for a blood test to be sure but wanted to know if its actually more reliable than the urine one. Did the blood test give you a clearer answer?
Haan blood test is more accurate actually, plus it catches it earlier than the urine strip. I did the home one first and then got the blood beta done to be fully sure. Both have their use yaar.
Yes, blood tests are generally more accurate and can detect pregnancy earlier than urine kits. My doctor explained the blood beta hCG even gives a number, so they can track if it's rising properly. Urine kit just shows yes or no basically.
During my treatment I only relied on blood tests, the beta hCG. It's very precise and picks up pregnancy quite early. If you're anxious and want a clear answer, the blood one through a lab is the way to go.
Blood test is more reliable but it costs a bit more and you have to go to a lab. For first check most of us just use the home kit, and if it's positive then confirm with blood. Saves money na.
Blood beta hCG beats the urine kit on accuracy, no doubt. Urine kits are still good if you wait till after a missed period though. For early confirmation, blood is better.
