Test Details

Beta-hCG (Quantitative Pregnancy Hormone Test) is a precise blood test that measures the level of the hormone produced by the placenta in early pregnancy, and it is considered the earliest biological indicator used to detect pregnancy. The hormone level rises rapidly during the first weeks, allowing pregnancy to be confirmed even a few days before the expected menstrual period, while also enabling monitoring of hormone changes over time.

This test is used to:

• Confirm pregnancy in its early stages

• Monitor pregnancy progression and fetal development

• Assess pregnancy viability and help detect ectopic pregnancy early

• Monitor hormone levels after miscarriage or fertility treatments

The quantitative pregnancy hormone test is more accurate than home pregnancy tests because it provides an exact numerical value that helps doctors closely monitor pregnancy. Normally rising levels indicate a healthy pregnancy, while abnormally low or high levels may require further medical evaluation.
