SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test

Product Information

All pregnancy tests work by detecting a special hormone in the urine or blood that is only there when a woman is pregnant.

From the very beginning of pregnancy, your body starts to go through changes to support the cells that will develop into your baby. This means you can experience emotional and physical changes, from feeling weepy to changes in your digestion.If you or your doctor wants to know if you are pregnant, the blood test can give you results earlier than a urine pregnancy test. Our test can pick up traces of hCG, allowing you to confirm pregnancy as early as possible, even before a missed period. A pregnancy blood test, also known as a beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test, measures the levels of hCG hormone in a person’s blood. Pregnancy tests look for a special hormone —human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) — that only develops in a person’s body during pregnancy. Every woman’s experience of pregnancy is different, including when the first symptoms start to kick in and how much they affect your daily life.

A blood test is also more sensitive than a urine test, so it can detect hCG at lower levels, giving you earlier confirmation of your pregnancy. Unless you are showing any symptoms that your pregnancy is not progressing as it should, it is unlikely that your doctor will check your hCG level. But just like with an at-home urine pregnancy test, there’s still a chance you can end up with an inaccurate result, like one that says you’re not pregnant when you really are (a false negative) or one that finds you’re pregnant when you aren’t ( a false positive).Unlike urine pregnancy tests, you can use a blood test at any time of the day and are unaffected by dilution from drinks. Results may also be more accurate if you do the test first thing in the morning when your urine is more concentrated. But for some, it can feel daunting to receive a blood test, or confusing knowing if it’s necessary to get one. is a trading name of Harley Street Health Checks UK Ltd - Company Number 06787096 - Wessex House, Teign Rd, Newton Abbot, Devon, England. The process involves pressing the lancet firmly against your finger and drawing a small amount of blood.

If you still get a negative result and your period has not started, you should speak with your doctor.A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (Beta-HCG) test measures the level of Beta-HCG in the blood. If you take a urine test too close to the time you got pregnant, the test could say that you are not pregnant even when you really are. Serious UTIs can cause your pee to have high levels of leukocytes and nitrite, which can cause a false positive pregnancy test result.
