Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-HCG)

β-HCG is a hormone that rises quickly in early pregnancy. It’s the hormone detected by pregnancy tests. Measuring β-HCG in your blood can confirm pregnancy, help track its progress, or check for certain complications, such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. It can also be used in some cases to monitor certain types of tumors.

What's the difference between this and a standard lab blood test?

Same-day blood test results are processed in our clinic using advanced equipment, so you receive your results quickly and accurately—ideal for when you want fast answers or to monitor your health. The main difference with a standard blood test is that your sample is sent to an accredited external laboratory, and the results come back as a certified lab report. Both options are reliable and accurate; the key difference is that lab-processed results are officially certified, while same-day results are provided directly from our clinic.
