Service Providers for Pregnancy Test (HCG Level)
A Pregnancy Test (HCG Level) measures the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone in the blood, which increases during pregnancy. The test involves drawing a blood sample, typically from the arm. No special preparation is needed. The test is quick, with results typically available within a few hours to a day. Risks are minimal but may include slight discomfort or bruising at the injection site. Elevated HCG levels indicate pregnancy, but certain conditions like multiple pregnancies or ovarian issues may also affect results. False negatives or positives can occur, so follow-up tests may be required for confirmation.
