Home test gave me a faint line so i want to confirm with a blood test to be sure. Not sure what its called or what i should ask for at the lab. Can someone tell me which test exactly confirms it?
It's the beta hCG blood test that confirms pregnancy. My doctor said it can detect pregnancy a bit earlier than a urine kit and also gives a number. They sometimes repeat it after 48 hours to see if the level is rising properly.
Yeah it's the beta hCG test, very common and simple. A urine kit checks the same hormone but blood gives an exact value. If you want certainty, just ask the lab for a beta hCG.
The beta hCG isn't too costly at most labs, I got it done easily. I did the home kit first and then the blood test to confirm. Worth doing if you want to be sure before the doctor visit.
