Home tests are confusing me with faint lines so im thinking of getting a blood test done. How early can the blood test pick it up compared to the urine one? just want a clear answer this time.
Blood tests detect it sooner than home kits, often before a missed period. The lab measures the exact hcg level. If you want to confirm early, ask your doctor for a beta hcg test.
During our IVF journey the beta hcg blood test was how we got our first confirmation, quite early on. It can be such an emotional wait. Whatever path you are on, your doctor will time the test right for you.
My doctor said the blood test (beta hcg) can pick it up earlier than a urine kit, around 8 to 10 days after conception in many cases. It is more sensitive. She said if I wanted an early confirmation, blood was the way.
