What is this test? A qualitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG or hCG) blood test checks if there is a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin in your blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy.
Sample required: Blood obtained from a finger prick or vein. Urine can also be used.
Client preparation: If you’re doing a urine test, don’t drink large amounts of fluid before collecting your sample. That could dilute the hCG in your urine, and it may not show up on the test. Otherwise, you don’t need any special preparations for a pregnancy test that uses urine or blood.
Turn-around time (How long does it take?): 5 to 15 minutes onsite at client’s place of choice..
Basis of the Test: HCG appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception.
