When is the earliest a BETA (quantitative) Hcg test be accurate?
A qualitative urine or blood hCG test is ordered as early as 10 days after a missed menstrual period if a woman wishes to confirm whether or not she is pregnant (some methods can detect hCG even earlier, at one week after conception). In certain patients, several quantitative blood hCG tests over several days may be ordered to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or to monitor a woman after a miscarriage. A doctor will also order a quantitative hCG test when she suspects trophoblastic disease or the presence of germ cell tumors.
