Tests Included

We understand the importance of early and reliable information about pregnancy. This guide will explain a crucial test for early pregnancy confirmation: the Beta-hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Blood Test.

What is Beta-hCG and How Does it Help?

Beta-hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta soon after conception. Its levels rise rapidly in the first trimester, making it a valuable indicator of pregnancy. A Beta-hCG blood test, also called a quantitative hCG test, measures the exact amount of this hormone in your blood.

Benefits of a Beta-hCG Test in the First Trimester:

• Early Pregnancy Confirmation: This test can detect pregnancy as early as 11-12 days after conception, even before a missed period.
• Monitoring Pregnancy Progress: By tracking Beta-hCG levels over time, doctors can assess the viability of the pregnancy and monitor its development.
• Identifying Potential Complications: Elevated or low Beta-hCG levels might indicate certain pregnancy complications, allowing for early intervention if necessary.

What to Expect During the Beta-hCG Test at Dr. Lal PathLabs:

• Simple Blood Draw: A trained phlebotomist will collect a small blood sample from your vein, typically in your arm.
• Fasting May Be Required: In some cases, a short fasting period (10-12 hours) might be recommended before the test for optimal results.
• Convenient Home Collection Available: Dr. Lal PathLabs offers the option of having your blood sample collected from the comfort of your home in major Indian cities.

Beyond the Beta-hCG Test: First-Trimester Screening

The Beta-hCG test is just one piece of the puzzle during your first trimester. Dr. Lal PathLabs offers a comprehensive range of first-trimester screening options, including:

• Nuchal Translucency Scan (NT Scan): This ultrasound scan measures fluid accumulation at the back of the baby's neck, which can be associated with certain chromosomal abnormalities.
• Maternal Serum Screening (MSS): This blood test measures various pregnancy hormones and proteins in your blood, which, when combined with the NT scan results, can provide a more comprehensive risk assessment for Down syndrome and other chromosomal conditions.
