The Beta-HCG test is the definitive, quantitative blood test used to confirm and monitor pregnancy. It measures the exact level of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, the hormone produced by the placenta. This test can detect pregnancy earlier and with far greater accuracy than a urine test. It is also used by doctors to track the viability and progression of an early-stage pregnancy or to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. This simple blood test provides the clear, reliable, and early answers you need during this critical time.
