Early Pregnancy home blood tests check your blood for a hormone called hCG, which stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is released after the fertilised egg reaches and attaches to the lining of the womb. The hormone levels of hCG double every 2 to 3 days and so can be detected by blood test much earlier than a urine test. They are becoming more and more popular as a faster way of detecting pregnancy. Qualitative home test kits have become popular as they can be used from the comfort of one’s own home, and will show whether a woman is pregnant up to seven days before their next period. This can be upwards of 2 weeks before a urine test will detect a pregnancy, so early pregnancy blood tests at home are a great choice for most women.
