Home test showed faint line so gynac asked for a hcg blood test. Honestly I dont fully understand what it checks and why blood and not just urine. can someone explain in simple words?
Oh, I totally understand that beautiful anxiety of waiting for results! This test checks the exact amount of pregnancy hormone, giving u the sweetest confirmation that your little angel is indeed on the way.
It's a blood test that detects the HCG hormone to confirm pregnancy early on. I had a C-section later, but I still remember how relieved I felt when this test came back positive!
When my home test was faint, my mother-in-law suggested getting a blood test to be sure. It basically measures the pregnancy hormone level in your blood to confirm everything is progressing well.
