hCG Pregnancy Blood Test
Want to know for sure, and early? Our Beta hCG blood test measures the exact level of the pregnancy hormone hCG in your blood. It can confirm pregnancy from around 7–10 days after conception, before a home test turns positive, and gives you a number, not just a yes or no.

YOUR TEST
Beta hCG (quantitative)
£89 all-in: blood draw, laboratory analysis and a report with clinician interpretation. An Easy Read version is available.
What it checks
The exact level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) in your blood. In early pregnancy hCG roughly doubles every 48–72 hours, so a repeat test 48 hours later shows whether it is rising.
Results
1–3 working days, with clinician interpretation.

BLOOD TEST VS HOME TEST
hCG Blood Test vs Home Pregnancy Test
A home urine test only shows yes or no, and usually only after a missed period. A blood test is more sensitive, can detect pregnancy earlier and measures your exact hCG level. That is why it is used to check that levels are rising in early pregnancy, after IVF or after a previous loss.
