What is a Beta HCG Test?View All
A Beta HCG Test, also called the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin test, is a simple blood test. It measures the amount of the Beta HCG hormone present in your blood. This hormone is made during pregnancy, so the test helps confirm and track it early.

- Confirm if you are pregnant : reliable in early pregnancy.
- Track how your pregnancy is going : watch hormone levels rise.
- Check for a possible miscarriage : falling levels raise concern.
- Rule out an ectopic pregnancy : unusual levels flag trouble.
