Common questions
Which Pregnancy Test option should I choose?
Choose Urine if you want a quick, simple first check around the time of a missed period. Choose Blood (Serum) if you want earlier or more precise confirmation, or if your doctor needs an exact hCG level.
When can I take this test?
A urine test is best from around the time of a missed period. A blood serum test may detect pregnancy earlier and can provide a measured hCG level.
How can I get the most accurate result?
For urine testing, first-morning urine gives the best sensitivity. For blood serum testing, follow your doctor's timing instructions if they are monitoring hCG levels.
Is it reliable?
Yes. Both options are reliable when taken at the right time. Blood serum testing is usually preferred when earlier or more detailed confirmation is needed.
