Pregnancy Blood Test (hCG test)

How it Works

Pregnancy Blood Test (hCG test)

A pregnancy test is used to determine whether or not a person is pregnant.  A pregnancy test looks for the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG.  The body typically begins producing this hormone 6-7 days after fertilization occurs.  During pregnancy, the level of hCG in the body continues to rise.  Pregnancy blood tests (hCG tests) are more accurate than a home pregnancy test and can detect pregnancy earlier.  A blood pregnancy test can accurately detect pregnancy as early as 6-8 days after ovulation.  Pregnancy blood tests can be either qualitative or quantitative.  A qualitative test will show either a positive or negative result.  A quantitative test measures the level of hCG in the blood and will show how far along a pregnancy is.  The quantitative test can also be used to identify and track certain complications during pregnancy.

Signs of pregnancy

There are a number of signs which may be early indicators of pregnancy.  The most common is a disruption of the menstrual cycle resulting in a missed period.  Other signs include cramping, fatigue, morning sickness, headaches, back pain, dizziness, constipation, and frequent urination.  Because many of these are indicative of other conditions, a pregnancy blood test (hCG test) is recommended to accurately determine if you are pregnant.
