Product Information

The NG-Test® hCG Blood Precision and NG-Test®/ hCG Whole Blood use highly specific monoclonal antibodies targeting hCG in human whole blood and serum, with a detection threshold of 10mlU/mL. Providing the instructions have been followed as written and the correct amount of blood and diluent has been added then your result will be reliable. You might even be about to have a medical procedure or start a new medication that could be complicated by pregnancy.

But just like with an at-home urine pregnancy test, there’s still a chance you can end up with an inaccurate result, like one that says you’re not pregnant when you really are (a false negative) or one that finds you’re pregnant when you aren’t ( a false positive). This is the type of blood pregnancy test that most people are referring to when they talk about blood tests for pregnancy. In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, the hCG level may just plateau or increase at a very slow rate, but this can only be determined, usually in a doctor’s office or hospital, by using blood hCG levels to monitor how much hCG you have in the blood.It continues to increase over the first trimester as your baby continues to grow and you may feel a little nauseous. But for some, it can feel daunting to receive a blood test, or confusing knowing if it’s necessary to get one. But blood tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a home pregnancy test, about 7-10 days after ovulation.

Unlike urine pregnancy tests where it is advised to use an early morning urine sample, you can use a blood test at any time of the day or night.An evaporation line may appear if you wait too long to check your results — meaning your pee is dry.

Quantitative hCG tests can pick up even tiny amounts of the hormone and measure exactly how much hCG is in your blood. The patient is too dizzy to walk to the bathroom to give you a urine specimen to check a urine pregnancy test. That's helpful when your doctor needs to know the exact amount of HCG in your blood, and not just if it's present in your blood.Positive results can be trusted, but you can get a false negative result if you take the test too soon.

Some tests can also measure quantitative levels of hCG in the blood to determine how well the pregnancy is progressing. If you are in doubt, you should not limit yourself to a negative test result, especially if your period does not come and certain physiological signs indicate that you are pregnant. Whenever using an early pregnancy test, you should be aware that not all pregnancies will proceed to term, and it is not uncommon for a positive result to become negative early on in pregnancy. If you're taking medicine to help you get pregnant (fertility drugs), your test results may show that you're pregnant when you're not. The hormone hCG ensures the corpus luteum, which forms in the ovary after ovulation, keeps producing progesterone during the first trimester until the placenta has developed.From the very beginning of pregnancy, your body starts to go through changes to support the cells that will develop into your baby. Extremely high HCG levels might mean that you’re carrying twins or that there’s an issue with the pregnancy.
