Yes, blood test is very accurate at 5 weeks. While you are getting it done, please consult your doctor so they can also check your thyroid and CBC levels if needed. I had thyroid issues and catching it early in my first checkup really helped me.
Of course it can! But honestly, instead of spending 500-600 rupees on a blood test directly, you can first do a simple 50 rupee Prega News test at home with morning urine. If that shows two lines, then you can get the blood test done for double confirmation.
Haan, blood test will definitely detect it, I had mine at 5 weeks too. But did anyone else also get super anxious waiting for the hCG numbers to double? I kept overthinking if the numbers were normal, did u guys feel that way too?
Absolutely, a beta hCG blood test is the most accurate way to confirm it at 5 weeks. It detects even tiny amounts of the pregnancy hormone. Just book a home collection from any standard lab like Lal PathLabs, no need to wait.
Yes, actually my doctor told me that a blood test is very reliable by 5 weeks. I am also currently trying and keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully, we both get our good news soon.
Oh, this brings back so many memories! I felt my heart beating so fast when I got my blood drawn at 5 weeks. When the report came with high hCG levels, I literally cried with joy, it's a beautiful feeling.
