Pregnancy Tests

Accurate and reliable testing for early pregnancy detection – from urine HCG to quantitative serum beta HCG, with rapid results and expert interpretation.

Overview

Confirm your pregnancy with confidence.

Pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) – a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after implantation. Whether you choose a urine test for quick screening or a serum beta hCG for precise quantification, Amytri Diagnostics offers reliable and accurate testing to confirm pregnancy, estimate gestational age, and monitor early pregnancy health.

Early and accurate pregnancy detection is essential for timely prenatal care, lifestyle adjustments, and ruling out complications like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Serum beta hCG testing can also help monitor hCG doubling times – a key indicator of viable pregnancy progression.

At Amytri, we use high‑sensitivity immunoassay analysers for both urine and serum hCG testing. Results are validated by experienced pathologists and shared with your obstetrician or physician. For your convenience, we offer home sample collection for blood tests.

What pregnancy testing typically includes

  • Urine Pregnancy Test (qualitative) – rapid home‑style test with high accuracy, available at our centre
  • Serum Beta hCG (qualitative) – detects hCG in blood, more sensitive than urine
  • Serum Beta hCG (quantitative) – measures exact hCG levels, useful for monitoring
  • hCG Doubling Time – calculated from serial measurements to assess viability
  • Progesterone Level (if indicated) – to evaluate luteal phase support
  • Early Pregnancy Ultrasound (add‑on) – to confirm intrauterine pregnancy and detect heartbeat
Why it matters

Essential for early pregnancy care.

Accurate pregnancy testing is the first step toward a healthy pregnancy. It provides peace of mind and guides important clinical decisions.

Detection

Confirm pregnancy early

Urine or serum hCG can detect pregnancy as early as 7–10 days after ovulation – before a missed period – allowing you to start prenatal care promptly.

Monitoring

Assess viability and progression

Serial quantitative hCG levels can monitor doubling times – a key indicator of a viable intrauterine pregnancy, helping rule out ectopic or miscarriage.

Planning

Plan your obstetric journey

Knowing your pregnancy status allows you to schedule your first ultrasound, start folic acid, and make lifestyle changes that benefit both mother and baby.

What we offer

Comprehensive pregnancy testing options.

Choose from a range of pregnancy tests – from rapid urine screening to detailed serum hCG quantification – tailored to your needs.

Urine Pregnancy Test (Qualitative)

A rapid test using a urine sample – provides a simple positive/negative result. Highly accurate when performed correctly, typically used as an initial screening test.

Serum Beta hCG (Qualitative)

A blood test that detects the presence of hCG. More sensitive than urine tests, can detect pregnancy even earlier (about 7–8 days after ovulation).

Serum Beta hCG (Quantitative)

Measures the exact hCG level in blood. Essential for monitoring early pregnancy progression, diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, or assessing risk of miscarriage.

hCG Doubling Time (Serial)

By measuring hCG levels 48–72 hours apart, we can calculate doubling time – normal is ~48–72 hours in early pregnancy; slower rise may indicate concern.

Progesterone Level (Optional)

Progesterone supports early pregnancy. Low levels may indicate luteal phase defect or risk of miscarriage – can be checked alongside hCG.

Early Pregnancy Ultrasound (Add‑on)

If hCG is positive, an early ultrasound at 5–6 weeks can confirm intrauterine gestation, detect heartbeat, and rule out ectopic pregnancy.

How it works

Your pregnancy testing journey, step by step.

01
Prepare

Preparation

No special preparation is needed for urine or blood hCG tests. For urine tests, it is best to use the first morning urine as it has the highest hCG concentration.

02
Sample collection

Urine or blood collection

For urine, you will provide a sample at the clinic. For blood, a trained phlebotomist draws a venous sample. We also offer home sample collection for blood tests.

03
Analysis

Laboratory processing

Urine tests are processed on rapid test strips with quality controls. Serum hCG is measured using chemiluminescence immunoassay analysers for high accuracy.

04
Report

Get your results

Urine results are available within minutes. Serum results are ready within 2–4 hours (urgent) or 24 hours. Reports are shared via WhatsApp or email.

Is it for you?

Pregnancy testing is recommended if any of these apply.

Whether you are trying to conceive, have missed a period, or need to monitor an early pregnancy – testing is the first and most important step.

Missed menstrual period

A missed period is the most common sign – a pregnancy test can confirm or rule out pregnancy.

Early pregnancy symptoms

Nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue, or frequent urination may indicate pregnancy – testing gives you clarity.

Monitoring after assisted reproduction

For patients undergoing IVF or IUI, serial hCG levels are essential to confirm implantation and monitor viability.

Abdominal pain or bleeding in early pregnancy

If you have pain or bleeding and a positive test, quantitative hCG and ultrasound are vital to rule out ectopic or miscarriage.

Planning pregnancy and prenatal care

Once pregnancy is confirmed, you can start folic acid, avoid harmful substances, and schedule your first obstetric appointment.

Uncertainty about home test results

If a home urine test is ambiguous or negative but symptoms persist, a serum hCG test at our lab provides definitive answers.
