When can we do blood test for pregnancy?

Question

I think I might be pregnant and want to confirm it with a blood test. How early after a missed period, or even before, can I get a blood test done for pregnancy?

Amritha Palaniswamy · Answer

You can get a Beta hCG blood test even a day or two before your missed period, but it's best to wait till your missed date to be safe. Eat a good breakfast if you are heading out for it!

Bindiya Dutta · Answer

I am also thinking about getting a blood test done. Does anyone know if we need to do it empty stomach or normal?

Beta, dhoop mein mat jana jyada. Period miss hone ke ek-do din baad doctor ke paas jaakar khoon ki jaanch karva lo, sab badhiya hoga.

Anusha Patnaik · Answer

Get it done a day after your missed period if you want quick, accurate results before joining office. You can book an at-home blood collection to save time.

Ekta Naidu · Answer

Just get a Beta hCG blood test done if your home kit shows a faint line. It gives exact hormone levels and is 100% accurate, no need to keep guessing.

Wait until you actually miss your period! My heavy belly doesn't let me move now, but back then I was running to the lab on day 25 of my cycle, which was way too early.
