Answer
A blood test, specifically a beta-hCG test, can detect pregnancy very early on, often before a home pregnancy test. This test measures the levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced by the placenta after implantation of a fertilized egg. Blood tests are considerably more sensitive than urine tests, and they can detect hCG at lower concentrations. A blood test is usually more reliable for early confirmation of pregnancy.
If you suspect you might be pregnant and have a negative home pregnancy test, you should always consult your doctor to determine whether a blood test would be appropriate. A medical professional can accurately assess the test results and guide you through your pregnancy journey.
