Thank you for asking this, I was also wondering. So we go to lab and just ask for beta hCG na? Feeling shy to ask doctor directly.

Its the beta hCG blood test. My doctor explained that it measures the pregnancy hormone and is more accurate than urine kits. They can even do quantitative one to check the level.

Beta hCG blood test confirms it best. Do the home kit after missed period first, then get blood test done to be sure. Your gynac will guide on timing.

Yes beta hCG is the one. I did urine kit first at home then got blood test for confirmation. The blood one can detect a bit earlier too.
