Pregnancy Test (HCG)

The hCG pregnancy blood test confirms pregnancy by measuring the exact amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in your bloodstream. Known as a "quantitative" test, it is significantly more sensitive and accurate than standard over-the-counter urine tests. Because it measures the specific level of the hormone, it can detect pregnancy earlier and provide more data about the pregnancy's progress.

What This Test Covers
