My period is 6 days late and the home strip showed a very faint line, so confusing. My friend said blood test is more accurate. How does it actually tell, like what do they check? First time so i honestly have no idea.
The blood test checks beta hcg, the pregnancy hormone. It can detect pregnancy earlier than urine kit, even before a missed period sometimes. Just a small blood sample at the lab, simple.
My gynac asked for beta hcg blood test and explained the number tells if pregnant, and a repeat in 48 hours shows if it is rising properly. It is more accurate than the home kit. They draw blood like any routine test.
