Doc asked me to get a beta test done after my missed period and im confused what exactly it checks. Heard people talk about beta values rising but i dont get it. Can someone explain in simple words?
In my IVF journey the beta test was the big moment, it's the blood test that tells you the hCG level. They often do it twice a couple of days apart to see it doubling. Waiting for that number is so nerve wracking, sending you calm.
Beta is the beta hCG blood test that measures the pregnancy hormone level. My doctor used it to confirm pregnancy early and sometimes they repeat it to see if the number is rising properly. It's more accurate than a urine strip.
