My period is 4 days late and the home strip showed very faint line, not sure if i imagined it. Thinking of going to lab instead. Does blood test confirm it more clearly than the urine one? anyone done both?
My urine test was faint so my doctor asked for a blood test and it confirmed it clearly. So yes it works really well. I felt relieved having a proper number na.
Yes, the blood test for beta hCG is actually more sensitive than urine strips, my doctor told me. It can detect pregnancy even a bit earlier and gives a number. She used it to confirm and track in early weeks.
Definitely, a blood hCG test confirms pregnancy reliably and earlier than urine. If your home test is unclear, this settles it. Just get it done at a lab on your doctor's advice.
