The home strips gave me one faint line and one clear, so im confused honestly. Thinking of getting a blood test done instead. How does it actually work and when is the right time to give it? pls share if u did this.
Simplest thing, walk into any diagnostic lab and ask for a beta hcg test, results come same day usually. I did it on my lunch break, super quick. More accurate than the home kit too.
It costs a bit more than a home kit but is worth it for accuracy. I compared a couple of labs nearby for the rate. Get the report and take it to your gynac for the next steps.
The blood test checks for beta hcg, the pregnancy hormone, and it can detect it earlier than urine kits. My doctor said it can even tell roughly how far along by the hcg number. You just go to a lab and give a blood sample, no fasting needed.
