Beta or quantitive HCG pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy, through a blood sample. This hormone is typically detectable in blood about 10-14 days after conception, making these tests highly effective for early pregnancy detection. The test works by using antibodies that react with HCG, producing measurable results in a laboratory setting. HCG pregnancy tests are known for their accuracy and reliability, providing a dependable method for confirming pregnancy. Medical professionals often use these tests to ensure precise results and to monitor the early stages of pregnancy.
These tests are sometimes used by fertility clinics to check the progress of the embryo.
