Blood test for hCG in early pregnancy

Why do I need hCG?

Blood test for hCG in the early stages is veryis important. It not only determines the presence or absence of pregnancy, but also helps to monitor its progress.

Photo: Getty Here are all the reasons why a woman can be prescribed blood donation for HCG:

detection of pregnancy;
monitoring the course of pregnancy;
identification of fetal malformations;
detection of ectopic pregnancy;
evaluation of abortion results;
diagnosis of amenorrhea;
identification of risk of miscarriage;
detection of tumors.

Men are assigned this analysis for suspected testicular tumors. This is a simple and quick way to identify a dangerous disease.

How to take a blood test for HCG?

No special preparation is required for the analysis.The only rule: you need to take it on an empty stomach. It is advisable to have your last meal 8-10 hours before the test. If you are taking any medications, you need to warn the specialist who will be interpreting the test results. The result can be affected by only one hormone - the same hCG. It is often included in drugs for the treatment of infertility and drugs to stimulate ovulation. No other substances can affect the test result. Blood for analysis is taken from a vein. To detect pregnancy, you need to go to the lab no earlier than the 4-5th day of the delay. After 2-3 days, you can give blood again to confirm the result. If you need to give blood for hCG after an abortion to find out how it went, then you should do this 1-2 days after the operation. But all repeated hCG tests during pregnancy are prescribed by the doctor who is managing it, as needed. The test result will be ready quite quickly. On average – in 2.5-3 hours. Some laboratories may delay the answer up to 4 hours, but not longer. Of course, you will have to wait a little longer for the answer than from a strip test, but the result is more accurate. One of the most reliable ways to detect pregnancy is to take this test. If you do not trust the test or want to know if you are pregnant as soon as possible, go to a clinic or laboratory to give blood for hCG.
