Easy Medical Centre in Nottingham offers private quantitative HCG blood testing for £79, giving you early and accurate pregnancy confirmation. Unlike home urine tests, our blood test detects much lower levels of the pregnancy hormone (HCG) as early as 10-11 days after conception. We use accredited labs and skilled phlebotomists to process your sample quickly – most clients receive a detailed result and doctor’s report within 2–5 working days.
HCG Blood Test Nottingham: Why choose a private HCG blood test in Nottingham clinic?
Early Detection: Blood HCG is detectable very soon after implantation, offering one of the earliest confirmations of pregnancy. Our quantitative test can detect pregnancy days before a missed period (earlier than urine tests).
Quantitative Results: We measure your exact HCG level (not just “yes/no”), which is valuable for tracking early pregnancy progress or IVF success.
Fast Turnaround: Results are fast – typically 2–5 working days from sample collection. (For comparison, some home kits quote ~2-day results, while our in-clinic service ensures proper lab analysis.)
Local, Trusted Service: Our Nottingham clinic provides a private, confidential environment. You won’t need a GP referral – just walk in or book online at your convenience.
Transparent Pricing: The all-inclusive fee is £79. (By comparison, pharmacies often charge ~£59 for a basic HCG marker, and other clinics charge £75–£125.)
HCG Blood Test Nottingham: How does booking in Nottingham work?
The process is straightforward:
1. Choose your preferred test(s) and decide whether you would like an in‑clinic appointment or a home test kit.
2. Visit our website and complete the Request a Blood Test form. Our team will validate your enquiry and provide advice if needed.
3. Once confirmed, you will receive full clinic details and locality information via email. Easy Medical partners with Randox Health, so some clinics may be listed under their name.
4. At your appointment, a trained professional collects your sample from your arm.
5. Samples are processed in a UKAS‑accredited UK laboratory under strict quality standards.
6. You will receive a certified laboratory report, suitable for NHS or private follow‑up.
Most results are available within 24 hours, although some complex tests may take 3–5 days.
HCG Blood Test Nottingham: Why does accreditation matter?
Choosing a UKAS‑accredited laboratory ensures:
• Compliance with internationally recognised standards (ISO 15189).
• Results as reliable as those from NHS or hospital laboratories.
• Credibility and acceptance by clinicians without question.
By contrast, non‑certified labs may produce results that are less reliable, harder to validate, and sometimes not accepted by medical professionals.

• No GP referral required.
• Choice of clinic appointment or home‑testing kit.
• Results typically within 24 hours (or depending on test complexity).
• A full, certified report ready to share with your GP or specialist.

HCG Blood Test Nottingham: Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's
Why would I have a blood test?
Blood tests are usually done to check how your body copes with illness, injury, inflammation, infection and some types of medication. Blood needs a very precise balance in order for your body to work well. If blood test results are abnormal, it gives the doctors a good indication of how to treat you or prevent problems occurring in the future.
What is a Beta HCG blood test?
A Beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) blood test measures the exact level of hCG in your bloodstream. This hormone is produced during pregnancy, and the test is commonly used to confirm pregnancy, monitor early pregnancy development, or investigate certain medical conditions.
Why is the Beta HCG test done?
This test may be recommended to:
Confirm pregnancy
Monitor the progression of early pregnancy
Investigate symptoms such as bleeding or abdominal pain
Diagnose or monitor ectopic pregnancy
Assess miscarriage risk
Evaluate certain tumours that produce hCG (rare)
How is the test performed?
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. The procedure takes just a few minutes and does not require any special preparation.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No. Fasting is not required for a Beta hCG blood test.
How soon can the test detect pregnancy?
A Beta hCG blood test can detect pregnancy as early as 10–12 days after conception, often before a missed period. It is more sensitive and accurate than a urine pregnancy test.
How long do results take?
Results are typically available within 1-3 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing times, via email.
What do the results mean?
Positive hCG usually indicates pregnancy.
Rising levels in early pregnancy typically suggest normal development.
Falling or slow‑rising levels may indicate a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
Very high levels may require further investigation.
Your clinician will interpret the results in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
Can anything affect the accuracy of the test?
Certain fertility medications containing hCG can affect results. Medical conditions such as ovarian cysts or rare tumours may also influence hCG levels.
Is the test safe?
Yes. It is a routine blood test with minimal risks, such as slight bruising at the needle site.
How much does an HCG blood test cost?
At Easy Medical Centre it’s £79 for the complete test and report.
Will my GP do an HCG blood test?
Typically, NHS GPs don’t offer pregnancy blood tests for routine early confirmation. They reserve blood tests for medical indications (e.g. IVF monitoring, suspected ectopic pregnancy). A private test like ours is much quicker and convenient for early pregnancy checks.
Is a blood test better than a urine pregnancy test?
Yes – blood tests are more sensitive. Because hCG levels in blood are higher than in urine, our quantitative blood test can confirm pregnancy earlier and more accurately. You get a numerical HCG result (not just “yes/no”), which is useful for your healthcare provider.
