Which hcg test for pregnancy?

Question

Doc told me to get a blood hcg done but there are like quantitative and qualitative options at the lab and im lost. Which one do u all usually get for confirming early pregnancy?

Khushi Parikh · Answer

Just book a 'Beta hCG quantitative blood test' from any local lab. It’s way more accurate than urine cards and gives you the exact hormone numbers.

First do a simple urine test at home with morning pee, beta. If that shows a faint line, then go for a blood test to confirm, don't worry everything will be fine.

Don't waste time on cheap urine cards if you are confused. Just get a beta hCG blood test done, it will clearly tell you if you are pregnant or not.

Usually, a home urine test is done first, followed by a quantitative blood beta-hCG test if needed. It's always best to let your gynac decide which test is appropriate for your specific case.

In our times, we just waited for missed periods and did simple home tests, beta hCG blood test is common now. Eat warming foods like ginger tea if your stomach feels upset, but do get a doctor's test done.

A simple urine strip test at home is the most natural way to check. But if you have any pain or spotting, please don't wait for home results and see a doctor immediately.

I always prefer the beta-hCG blood test because it shows if the hormone levels are doubling properly. After my loss, seeing those numbers go up was the only thing that gave me hope.
