im so impatient yaar, period is only like 2 days late and i dont want to wait for the urine strip to show clearly. does blood test pick it up earlier than the home kit? wanna know before i go to lab.
Yes, blood test (beta hCG) can pick it up earlier than urine strips, sometimes around 8-10 days after conception. My doctor preferred blood test because it also gives the exact hCG number, not just yes/no. Urine test you usually wait till missed period.
In our journey it was always blood beta hCG, never the strip. It detects earlier and the rising numbers tell a lot. If you're anxious to know, blood test is the more reliable early option, your doc can order it.
Blood test is more sensitive and earlier than the home kit, that's true. I did blood test both times because I was too impatient to wait. Get it done at a lab, results same day usually.
I did blood test before even missing my period because I couldnt wait, and it showed positive. Urine one I tried after and it confirmed. Blood is definitely faster.
