Are You Experiencing Unusual Fatigue, Nausea, or Missed Periods?

Have you recently felt overly tired, noticed unexpected nausea, or missed your period? Many women experience these symptoms and wonder about their cause. While there are several potential explanations, one of the most common — and often overlooked — is early pregnancy. In the UK, recognising early pregnancy is crucial due to the importance of timely prenatal care (NHS: Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms).

What is hCG and Why Does it Matter?

The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced early in pregnancy. Its levels rise quickly after conception, making it a key marker for early pregnancy detection. Unlike standard urine pregnancy tests, a quantitative hCG blood test accurately measures how much hCG is in your blood, allowing for earlier and more precise detection.

Did you know? Quantitative hCG can also help clarify uncertain urine test results or identify very early pregnancy, even before a missed period.
