Beta hCG is basically a blood test to confirm pregnancy. It is much more accurate than urine kits because it measures the exact amount of hormone in your blood.

I don't know the scientific details, but when my home test was very faint, my gynac advised this blood test. It confirmed my pregnancy immediately.

I used to track my hCG doubling time on my pregnancy tracker app! It basically measures the pregnancy hormone in your blood to see how the baby is growing.

With PCOS, ovulation is irregular so home tests can be confusing. My doctor ordered an hCG blood test to get a clear answer, so ask your gynac once.

It is a quick blood test, and you usually get reports the same day. Doctors use it to track if your pregnancy hormone levels are doubling properly.

It's a blood test that checks pregnancy hormones. I had to do it to ensure everything was fine before my doctor allowed me to continue my light yoga.
