Home test came positive twice and Im planning to visit the gynac this week. Just curious what they actually do to confirm it, blood test or scan? First time so I dont know what to expect.
Usually they ask you to do a urine test first, then a blood beta hcg to confirm. After that a scan around 6-7 weeks to see the sac and heartbeat. Thats the proper confirmation.
First a home test or urine test at clinic, then blood hcg, then scan. The blood test and scan are the paid ones, so keep a little budget ready for your first visit. Worth it for peace of mind.
My doc did blood beta hcg to confirm the hormone level, and then an early ultrasound to check location and heartbeat. She said the scan is important to make sure its in the right place too.
