๐ This test measures hCG levels in the blood. It does not replace medical assessment or pregnancy care from your GP, midwife or early pregnancy unit.
โก Why Is Beta hCG Important?
๐คฐ Beta hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. A quantitative blood test measures the level of hCG in the blood rather than simply giving a positive or negative result.
๐งช This can be useful when you want a more sensitive laboratory-based pregnancy test compared with a standard urine test.
๐ก Your result should be interpreted alongside your symptoms, dates and clinical situation.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this more accurate than a urine pregnancy test?
๐งช A blood test can detect and measure hCG levels in the blood. Your result should still be interpreted appropriately.
Do I need to fast?
โ No fasting is usually required.
Can this tell me how many weeks pregnant I am?
โ Not reliably on its own. Pregnancy dating is usually confirmed through clinical assessment and ultrasound where appropriate.
What should I do if I have pain, bleeding or severe symptoms?
โ ๏ธ Seek urgent medical advice from NHS 111, your GP, maternity services or A&E depending on severity.
The Pharmacy First service builds on the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service which has run since October 2019. The consultation service enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply.
