Planning to get the beta hcg blood test done instead of just kit. Roughly kitna lagta hai at a normal lab? Just want to keep budget ready before going.
I just got this done recently and it cost me 600 rupees at Lal PathLabs. The home collection guy came and it was super convenient. The report came on my phone the very next day!
This is really helpful information! I am planning to conceive soon, so I'm trying to make a small budget for all these medical expenses. Do they require us to be empty stomach for this blood test?
I remember paying around 500 rupees for my Beta hCG test back then. It feels like just yesterday but now my baby is a running toddler! Don't worry, it's a very standard test and not very expensive.
When I was at my parents' house, we got it done from a local lab nearby. It cost us around 400 rupees for the basic blood test. It's very simple and they usually give the report by evening.
For a Beta hCG test, it usually ranges between 500 to 1000 rupees depending on the lab. Since I also had to get regular thyroid tests done, my doctor made a complete list of what tests to do when. Regular follow-ups are so important to keep track of everything.
The cost depends on whether you get a qualitative hCG test (around 300-500) or a quantitative Beta hCG (around 600-1000) which tells the exact hormone levels. Most reputed labs will charge around 800 rupees. It is highly accurate and done via a normal blood draw.
I paid 800 rupees in a major city lab last month. Is that too expensive? I am still pregnant and finding out that all these tests and scans really add up quickly.
