More Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take a Pregnancy Test?
- – You can take a urine test about 10–14 days after ovulation or a few days after a missed period.
- – A blood hCG test can detect pregnancy as early as 6–8 days after conception.
Is fasting required for the Pregnancy Test?
No. Fasting is not required for either urine or blood pregnancy tests.
How is the sample collected?
- – Urine Test: A clean midstream urine sample is collected in a sterile container.
- – Blood Test: A small blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm.
Both are quick, safe, and done under hygienic conditions at Mitra Diagnostics.
How soon will I get the results?
- – Urine Test: Results within 30 minutes.
- – Blood hCG Test: Report available within 8 hours.
Reports can be accessed online or via WhatsApp for convenience.
What do the results mean?
- – Positive Test: hCG detected → Pregnancy confirmed.
- – Negative Test: hCG not detected → Not pregnant or too early to detect.
If the test is negative but your period is delayed, repeat the test after a few days.
Can hCG levels help monitor early pregnancy health?
Yes. Serial (repeated) hCG measurements help your doctor monitor:
- – Whether pregnancy is progressing normally
- – Early detection of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
- – Viability of the pregnancy in the first trimester
What if the hCG levels are low or abnormal?
Abnormally low or fluctuating hCG levels may indicate:
- – Early pregnancy loss (miscarriage)
- – Ectopic pregnancy
- – Miscalculated dates
Your doctor may suggest an ultrasound or repeat tests for confirmation.
Can any medicines affect the Pregnancy Test result?
Yes. Fertility medicines containing hCG injections can cause a false-positive result.
Other regular medications usually do not interfere.
Is the test reliable?
Yes. The blood hCG test at Mitra Diagnostics is highly sensitive and accurate, even in early stages of pregnancy.
Can I get the Pregnancy Test done at home?
Yes!
- – You can opt for home sample collection for the blood hCG test.
- – For a urine test, you can either bring a sample to our center or request a home visit for collection.
Can a Pregnancy Test detect complications?
The test confirms pregnancy but does not directly detect complications.
However, unusually high or low hCG levels can give early warning signs — your doctor may suggest an ultrasound or repeat test for further evaluation.
