00:00test to confirm pregnancy. If you are pregnant, one of the most accurate way to find out is through
00:05a blood test. Let's explain how it works. There are two types of blood tests for pregnancy,
00:10qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative test simply tells you if you are pregnant by
00:16detecting the hormone hCG in your blood. If it's there, you are pregnant. The quantitative test,
00:22also known as the beta hCG test, measures the exact amount of hCG in your blood. This can
00:28provide more detailed information like how far along you are. Blood tests can detect pregnancy
00:33earlier than homogenous tests, usually within 6-8 days after ovulation. Thus, they are highly
00:39accurate. If you think you might be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider about getting a blood
00:44test. It's a quick, reliable way to get the answer you need. Stay informed and take care of yourself.
