About this test
A quantitative blood test measuring hCG. It can support early pregnancy assessment and provide a broad indication consistent with a pregnancy stage, but hCG ranges overlap widely and the result cannot date a pregnancy or confirm that it is progressing normally.
At a glance
- Sample: Blood
- Collection: Follow the supplied instructions for providing your blood sample
- Estimated turnaround: 1-2 days from laboratory receipt of a usable sample
What this test measures
- Quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
- A pregnancy-associated hormone whose concentration changes substantially in early pregnancy. A rising or falling pattern can be more informative than one value. A single result cannot confirm pregnancy location, viability or exact gestational age.
How clinicians use this test
Clinicians use Quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as part of hormone assessment, often with related hormones and carefully chosen collection timing. One value rarely establishes the cause of symptoms by itself.
Is this the right test for you?
An adult exploring the stated hormone marker with a clinician or monitoring an established plan, with collection timing and medicines taken into account.
Preparation and collection
Follow the supplied kit instructions. No product-specific preparation requirements are stated publicly. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless a clinician tells you to.
Understanding your result
The laboratory will report Quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with an assay-specific reference range, threshold or qualitative interpretation. Read the biomarker explanation above for common reasons a result may be high, low, detected or reactive, then use the laboratory comment and clinical context to decide whether repeat or follow-up testing is needed.
Your results and next steps
Review the result with collection timing, medicines and related hormones in mind. Do not start, stop or change prescribed hormone or thyroid treatment from a single home-test result without clinician advice.
Limitations
hCG ranges overlap widely. One result cannot accurately date a pregnancy, confirm its location or show that it is progressing normally.
When to get medical help
Do not wait for a home-test result if you feel seriously unwell. Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency, or use NHS 111 when you need urgent advice and are unsure what to do.

Questions, answered
How accurate is an at-home test?
Your sample is processed by a professional UK partner laboratory using the same analytical methods used for clinician-requested testing. Sample quality depends on following the collection instructions carefully.
Are my results private?
Yes. Kits use discreet packaging and your results are delivered through a secure digital service.
Does this diagnose a condition?
No. The test checks and measures biomarkers. Results and the doctor’s comment can help you decide what to discuss with your GP.
When should I post my sample?
Collect and post on the same day, ideally Monday–Thursday, to avoid a sample waiting in the postal system over a weekend.
What happens if my sample cannot be processed?
The support team will explain the next step if the laboratory cannot process your sample. Any recollection or refund depends on the circumstances and the applicable policy.
When should I speak to my GP?
Speak to your GP if symptoms persist, worsen or concern you. Seek urgent medical help for severe or sudden symptoms.
