Pregnancy Blood Tests Singapore
Pregnancy Blood Tests Singapore
Pregnancy is a significant journey that begins with confirming conception. In Singapore, one of the most reliable methods for this is through a blood test, specifically checking for the presence of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG). This hormone is a clear indicator of pregnancy, making blood tests crucial for expectant parents.
What Is a Pregnancy Blood Test?
A pregnancy blood test in Singapore detects beta-hCG in a woman's bloodstream, produced shortly after
the embryo attaches to the uterine lining and is an early indicator of pregnancy.
There are two types of pregnancy blood tests:
- Qualitative hCG Blood Test: Determines if hCG is present.
- Quantitative hCG Blood Test (or beta hCG test): Measures the specific level of hCG.
The quantitative beta hCG test not only confirms pregnancy but also monitors its health and progression. At ATA Medical, we offer the beta hCG test upon request.
Why Do a Pregnancy Blood Test?
These tests are recommended for several reasons:
- Accuracy: They're more accurate than home pregnancy tests and can detect pregnancy earlier, usually within 10 days of conception.
- Monitoring Pregnancy Health: Beta-hCG levels provide crucial information about pregnancy health and development, including detecting potential issues like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
- Confirming the Success of Assisted Reproductive Techniques: For couples undergoing fertility treatments, blood tests confirm the success of procedures like IVF.
How Accurate Are Pregnancy Blood Tests?
The quantitative beta hCG test is highly accurate, considered the gold standard for confirming pregnancy. Consult a doctor for interpretations tailored to individual medical conditions.
