Prepare for your Pregnancy Blood Test by following these instructions. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed.
Our at-home hCG level blood test can give you early confirmation of your pregnancy. You can also use it to check whether your hCG level is increasing as expected during the first stage of your pregnancy.
Higher-than-expected hCG levels are sometimes due to multiple pregnancies (twins or more). However, this would need to be confirmed by an ultrasound. Your GP or midwifery team will be able to support you if you have any concerns.
It’s reassuring to know that unusually low or high hCG levels are usually the result of miscalculating the stage of your pregnancy. This can occur if you have irregular periods or aren’t sure when your last period was. In rare cases, hCG levels that are higher or lower than expected can indicate pregnancy complications.
Low hCG levels can sometimes indicate a problem such as an ectopic pregnancy, but they aren’t always a sign that something is wrong. There are various causes of low hCG levels, and it may simply mean that you’re not as far along in your pregnancy as you expected.
Many of the early symptoms of pregnancy are due to the surge in hCG, and confusingly, they’re very similar to symptoms you might have right before your period. They include breast tenderness, feeling tired and sluggish, needing to urinate more often, irritability, and feeling sick.
As most of these symptoms aren’t unique to pregnancy, a Pregnancy Blood Test can help you find out if they’re down to pregnancy or to rule this out as the cause.
Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but it’s also common to feel anxious and overwhelmed. If you need support or reassurance, your doctor and midwifery team can help.
Bounty has a wealth of resources for mums-to-be and Tommy’s has a support line giving midwives’ advice. And our Pregnancy Progress Blood Test can help you check how your pregnancy is progressing in the early stages.
If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, our Fertility Guide has information and advice on the causes of infertility, increasing your chances of getting pregnant, and treatments that can help you conceive.
