Home test came faint positive so doc told me to get a blood test done. Which one exactly do they do, beta hcg something? Just want to know before going to the lab tomorrow.
It is the Beta hCG test, and if your numbers are sky-high like mine were, get ready because you might have more than one baby in there! It's a simple blood test, no fasting needed, you can get it done anytime.
Yes, Beta hCG is the main one. I got it done right after my home test was positive. Once the results came and my gynac confirmed everything was stable, she allowed me to continue my light morning walks and gentle stretching. Do check with your doc first.
It's best to consult your gynac first, they will write a prescription for the Beta hCG blood test along with other routine blood tests. Don't try to interpret the numbers yourself online, let your doctor check and confirm everything is safe.
Oh, getting that blood report in your hand is the most emotional feeling! The test is called Beta hCG, and it measures the exact pregnancy hormone level. I still have my report saved in my baby's memory book, it made it all feel so real.
Just book a Beta hCG blood test online through Pharmeasy or Tata 1mg, they come home and take the sample. It's the most definitive test because it gives you the exact hormone numbers. No need to stress, results usually come same day.
My mother told me to just wait for a few weeks, but my doctor advised getting a Beta hCG blood test to confirm the pregnancy safely. It is very accurate and helps the doctor understand if everything is progressing well. Do consult your gynac.
Please get the Beta hCG test done through your doctor's recommendation. In my case, tracking the hCG levels every 48 hours was very crucial because of early bleeding complications. Your doctor will know exactly how to guide you based on the report.
