We have been trying since last 2 months and im too impatient to wait for the urine test. Heard the blood test can show earlier than the kit. How many days after ovulation can it actually pick it up? dont want to go to the lab too soon and waste it.
Blood test picks it up earlier than the home strip, usually about a week to ten days after conception. If your period isn't due yet and you're anxious, the blood test is the more reliable early option.
The beta hCG blood test can be done a few days before your expected period. But honestly testing too early can give a low or unclear number, so your doctor may ask you to repeat it after 48 hours. Go by their advice.
In my IVF cycle the beta blood test was scheduled around day 10-12 after transfer, and waiting for it was so hard. They are very accurate but timing matters, so please go by the date your doctor gives, na. Sending you calm.
A blood test (beta hCG) can detect pregnancy quite early, my doctor said around 8 to 10 days after ovulation, which is even before a missed period. It's more sensitive than urine kits. Best to get the timing advice from your gynac though.
I got mine done about 9 days after I thought I ovulated because I couldn't wait. It came positive but the number was small so they repeated it. Are you doing it early because of any reason?
