The HCG + β blood test is one of the most accurate methods to detect early pregnancy.

Whether you’re confirming a pregnancy or monitoring HCG levels for medical reasons, our service is designed for speed, sensitivity, and peace of mind.
What Is the HCG + β Blood Test?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced shortly after a fertilised egg attaches to the uterine lining. The β-subunit (beta-HCG) test specifically measures the levels of this hormone in your blood and is considered more accurate than home pregnancy urine tests—especially during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
This test can also be used to:
• Monitor pregnancy progression
• Help diagnose potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage
• Assist in fertility treatment monitoring or medical investigations
Who Should Consider This Test?
The HCG + β blood test is ideal for:
• Women who want early and accurate pregnancy confirmation
• Those with unclear urine test results
• Individuals undergoing IVF or fertility treatment
• Anyone needing clinical confirmation of pregnancy status for medical or personal reasons
