A pregnancy test measures a hormone in the body called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception.
A pregnancy test is done using blood or urine. There are 2 types of blood tests:
This test is done to determine if you are pregnant or watch the development of the pregnancy during the first 2 months (quantitative test only)
HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester of pregnancy and then slightly declines.
Do not drink large amounts of fluid before collecting a urine sample for a pregnancy test because overly diluted urine may result in a false negative; no preparation is needed for a blood sample.
