Im too impatient to wait for my period and thinking of getting a blood test done. how early can it actually pick up a pregnancy, like how many days after? dont want to go too soon and waste it.
My doctor said a blood test (beta hCG) can pick it up earlier than urine, around 7-10 days after conception. It's more sensitive than the home strips. If you got a faint home result, the blood test confirms it clearly.
Blood test detects it earlier than the pee test, roughly a week or so after ovulation. It even measures the exact hormone level. I always trust the blood beta over the strip for early confirmation.
I had the same question while we were trying. I learnt the blood test can show it a bit before a missed period, earlier than the urine one. I went to a lab and got mine done to be sure. Wishing you good news.
Blood test is the quickest and most accurate, picks it up about 8-10 days after conception. If you're anxious to know early, that's the one to do. Just get a simple beta hCG done at a lab.
