hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) is the hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy. A beta hCG blood test measures hCG in your blood and can be used to confirm a pregnancy or, where clinically appropriate, help monitor early pregnancy.
You’d like a blood test to confirm a pregnancy, rather than relying only on a home urine test.
Your clinician has asked you to have your hCG checked, sometimes more than once.
You’re having fertility treatment. Always follow your clinic’s advice on when to test.
One hCG result shows what’s in your blood at that moment. Clinicians sometimes compare two results taken a couple of days apart to see how hCG is changing.
If your clinician has asked for repeat testing, you can book each beta hCG blood test separately at a time that suits you.

Results are typically available the same day or the next working day. This depends on what time your sample is taken and when it reaches the laboratory.
A blood test can usually pick up hCG earlier than a home urine test. If you test very early and the result is unclear, your clinician may suggest repeating it a few days later.
Not always. One test can help confirm a pregnancy. If your clinician wants to see how your hCG is changing, they may ask you to have a second test a couple of days later, which you can book separately.
No. An hCG result on its own can’t confirm that a pregnancy is healthy or show where it is. A scan and clinical assessment are needed for that.
