Can blood test detect pregnancy after missed period?

Question

Ive missed my period by a few days and the home test showed a faint line that i couldnt fully trust. Thinking of going for a blood test now. Will it give a clear answer after a missed period?

Yes, blood test (beta hCG) actually works even before missed period sometimes. My doc said after a missed period it is very accurate. She told me blood gives a clearer number than urine strip.

Haan blood test is the most reliable after missed period. I did mine 3 days after period was late and it confirmed clearly. Just go to a good lab.
