What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're trying to conceive and want to confirm pregnancy as early as possible, often before a home urine test can detect it. It measures hCG hormone levels in your blood, which can be detected as early as 7-10 days after conception. Many women use this test when experiencing early pregnancy symptoms like missed periods, nausea, or breast tenderness, or when they've had fertility treatments and want accurate confirmation.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hCG levels mean for your pregnancy status and what to expect next. These notes include personalized guidance on prenatal care steps, when to schedule your first OB appointment, or what to monitor if levels are inconclusive. You'll also get the standard lab report, and you can track your hCG levels over time using our trends feature if you need follow-up testing to confirm a healthy pregnancy progression.

What's included in this test?

This test measures Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Total, Quantitative. This test measures Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), the pregnancy hormone produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. Quantitative hCG testing provides an exact numerical value rather than just positive or negative, which helps evaluate pregnancy progression, detect very early pregnancies, and can also be used to monitor certain medical conditions. This precise measurement is especially valuable for confirming early conception, assessing ectopic pregnancy risk, or monitoring after fertility treatments.

How should I prepare for this test?

No fasting is needed for this test. You can eat and drink normally before your blood draw. Simply schedule your appointment and arrive at the lab - the blood draw takes just a few minutes. For best results if trying to confirm early pregnancy, wait at least 7-10 days after potential conception or the first day of your missed period.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for women actively trying to conceive who want the earliest possible pregnancy confirmation. It's also important for anyone who has experienced a missed period, early pregnancy symptoms, or who has undergone fertility treatments like IVF or IUI. Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or molar pregnancy may also use this test for early detection and monitoring.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you've missed your period, especially if accompanied by breast tenderness, mild cramping, fatigue, or nausea. Other early signs include light spotting (implantation bleeding), increased urination, food aversions, or a heightened sense of smell. Even without obvious symptoms, this test can detect pregnancy before home urine tests if you're tracking ovulation and want early confirmation.

What does high hCG mean?

High hCG levels typically indicate pregnancy, with levels doubling every 48-72 hours in early healthy pregnancies. Very high levels might suggest twins or multiples, or that you're further along than expected. In rare cases outside of pregnancy, elevated hCG can indicate certain medical conditions like gestational trophoblastic disease or testicular tumors in men, which is why this test is sometimes used for monitoring these conditions.

What does low hCG mean?

Low hCG levels might mean you tested too early and pregnancy is just beginning, or it could indicate a miscalculation of conception date. Levels that don't rise appropriately over time may suggest a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. If your hCG is lower than expected, your doctor will typically recommend retesting in 48-72 hours to see if levels are rising normally, which is a key indicator of healthy pregnancy progression.

How often should I retest my hCG levels?

If you're confirming early pregnancy, your doctor may want you to retest every 48-72 hours initially to ensure hCG levels are doubling appropriately, which indicates healthy progression. Once pregnancy is confirmed and progressing normally, routine hCG monitoring usually isn't needed. However, if you've had complications like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, your doctor may monitor hCG levels weekly until they return to non-pregnant levels.

What should I do if my hCG results are inconclusive?

Inconclusive results usually mean your hCG level is detectable but low, which can happen if you tested very early or ovulation occurred later than expected. The best next step is to retest in 48-72 hours to see if levels are rising appropriately - hCG should roughly double every two days in early pregnancy. Avoid strenuous exercise and monitor for any cramping or bleeding, and schedule a follow-up with your OB-GYN to confirm pregnancy location and viability once levels rise sufficiently.
