Got a blood test done because im not sure about the home kit result. When the report comes how do i actually read it to know if im pregnant? thoda confused about which value to look at.
I got mine done last month and the report just had a hCG value with the normal range beside it. Did anyone get confused reading the number too? My doc had to explain it to me.
The blood test for pregnancy is called beta hCG. The lab measures hCG hormone in your blood and if it is above a certain level it means pregnant. You just give a blood sample, no need to do anything fancy, the report will say it clearly.
The beta hCG test is pretty cheap at most labs, mine was a few hundred rupees. Honestly it confirms earlier and clearer than the pee strip. Worth it if you want a sure answer.
You just go to any lab and ask for a beta hCG test. It is more accurate than the home strip. The number on the report tells you, and your doctor reads it properly to confirm.
