Pregnancy tests look for the presence of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta HCG) in the blood. Beta HCG, also called the pregnancy hormone, is released approximately 10 days after conception after a fertilised egg implants itself into the uterine lining. This tells your body to start making HCG.
Beta HCG also plays a significant role in maintaining pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining in order to nourish the growing embryo and instructing the body to discontinue menstruation. When beta HCG is detected in your blood, it means that your pregnancy journey has officially begun!
At the initial stages of pregnancy, HCG levels rise rapidly and may be detectable with blood or urine tests, serving as a reliable pregnancy marker. Standard HCG levels confirm pregnancy, help approximate the baby’s gestational age, and give an expected due date.
However, abnormal HCG levels or an abrupt drop in beta HCG might signal potential problems like miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. An untreated ectopic pregnancy can lead to life-threatening complications, such as haemorrhage; this highlights the critical importance of early and accurate pregnancy testing.
For the most accurate results, you should wait 11 days after conception before taking a blood test since the hormone beta HCG may not be detectable earlier. If you’re uncertain of your conception date, it’s best to wait until the expected date of your period before getting tested. This ensures reliable and clear results.
