Pregnancy Test - hCG Serum
Qual Testing
A qualitative hCG test is done to confirm whether or not you are
pregnant. The test is usually given as early as 10 days
after you have missed your menstrual period, if you want to
confirm whether or not you are pregnant.
Can't I just use a
store-bought test?
1. An hCG Qual Serum test is
a blood test that we offer, and it's more accurate than a urine
test, or a home pregnancy kit.
2. Home tests are sometimes
done too soon after you miss your menstrual period, and the test
may not show a positive result even if you are pregnant.
3. Home tests that involve
urine can become diluted if you drink a great deal of liquids
such as juice or water. This can make your hCG levels too
low to show up on a test as positive, even if you are pregnant.
If done correctly, a
store-bought home pregnancy kit may help you find out if you are
pregnant. However, you may find better peace of mind by
having an affordable blood test done in a local lab.
Affordable Labs also offers a
professional urine test for
pregnancy.
