It has been about one week since we tried and I am overthinking every small symptom. Home test feels too early, so I was wondering about blood test. Has anyone checked this early?
Yes, my doctor told me the blood test (beta hcg) can pick it up earlier than urine, sometimes around a week after conception. Its more sensitive than the home strips for sure.
Blood tests are more sensitive than urine ones so they catch it earlier. Around a week is possible but accuracy improves a few days later. Better to confirm timing with your gynac.
In my IVF journey we always did the blood beta test early, it detects very small amounts. One week can be a bit early depending on when implantation happened, so dont lose hope if its borderline. Your doctor will guide on timing.
Yes dear, the blood test is quite early and reliable. If you can wait a couple extra days the reading is even clearer. Try not to keep checking, it only stresses you out.
