HCG Plus Beta (Pregnancy Test)
Confirm pregnancy and track early viability with confidence.
This test measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), including the beta subunit, in a simple blood sample. It is used to confirm pregnancy, estimate how far along you are, and monitor the health and progress of an early pregnancy. It is also helpful in fertility treatment cycles, where accurate tracking of hCG is important after embryo transfer or assisted conception.
What it screens for
- Pregnancy confirmation: Detects hCG produced by the developing placenta, often earlier than a urine test.
- Early pregnancy monitoring: Serial measurements can show whether hCG levels are rising as expected, which helps assess early viability.
- Fertility treatment support: Tracks hCG after treatments such as IVF or embryo transfer to confirm implantation.
- Suspected ectopic or failing pregnancy: Helps your doctor interpret unusual hCG patterns alongside other clinical findings.
Why it matters
Early and accurate information about hCG gives you and your clinician a clearer picture of what is happening in the earliest stages of pregnancy. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or through fertility treatment, this test supports timely decisions and appropriate follow-up care.

No special preparation required.
For blood tests, we recommend drinking plenty of water beforehand to ensure smooth sample collection. If you are taking any regular medication, continue to do so unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
