Beta hCG Blood Test
A Beta hCG blood test measures the exact level of human chorionic gonadotrophin — the pregnancy hormone. Because it's quantitative, it can confirm pregnancy earlier and more precisely than a urine test. Book a private, in-person appointment at our Leyton pharmacy.

What this test measures
A Beta hCG test measures the precise amount of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in your blood — the hormone your body produces in pregnancy. Unlike a yes/no urine test, it gives an exact number, so it can detect pregnancy earlier and is useful when timing or tracking matters.
It's most often used to confirm pregnancy early, or to follow hCG levels during fertility treatment.
Who it's for
You might consider this test if…
- You want early, reliable confirmation of pregnancy
- You're undergoing fertility treatment and tracking hCG
- A home urine test was unclear and you'd like a definitive answer
- You'd prefer a private, in-person appointment locally

Understanding your results
A detectable, rising hCG level is consistent with pregnancy. But levels vary widely between individuals, and a single value can't date a pregnancy or confirm on its own that it's developing normally.
This is a screening test, not a diagnosis. Any pregnancy should be followed up with your GP or midwife — our pharmacist will help you understand your result and guide you on next steps.

Beta hCG test FAQs
A blood hCG test can often detect pregnancy around 8–11 days after conception — earlier than most home urine tests.
No — it shows that the hormone is present and at what level, not how many weeks pregnant you are. Dating is done by your GP or midwife.
The Beta hCG test is £25, which includes your in-pharmacy appointment and clinician review.
