A pregnancy test looks for an elevated amount of HCG. The placenta produces HCG where levels rise quickly in the first weeks of pregnancy.
These blood tests are slightly more sensitive than urine tests because they can detect very small levels of HCG. That means they can provide a more accurate answer very early on in pregnancy — within seven to 10 days after conception. Waiting until a missed period will also always give reliable results.

1. What is a pregnancy blood test?
A Pregnancy Blood Test is a laboratory test that confirms pregnancy by measuring B-hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels in your blood. At Valeo Health, this test includes at-home sample collection by qualified healthcare professionals, no fasting is required, and results are available within 2–3 days. The package is available for SAR 199 and provides a reliable way to confirm pregnancy early from the comfort of your home.
2. How is a pregnancy blood test different from a pregnancy test at home?
A pregnancy test done at home usually checks hCG levels in urine, while a pregnancy blood test measures the hormone directly in the blood. Blood testing is more sensitive and can detect pregnancy earlier, even before a missed period in some cases.
3. When should I take a pregnancy blood test?
You can take a pregnancy blood test as early as 10–11 days after conception. However, for more accurate results, it is often recommended after a missed period.
If you're looking for a more comprehensive assessment of your overall health during your reproductive years, Valeo Health also offers the Advanced Female Blood Test. This comprehensive Female Blood Test measures 53 vital biomarkers, including female hormones, thyroid function, cholesterol, blood sugar, liver and kidney function, vitamins, and minerals. The package includes certified at-home blood sample collection, a FREE health consultation, MOH-licensed nurses and laboratory partners, results within 3–5 days, and requires 10 hours of fasting before sample collection.
4. How accurate is a pregnancy blood test?
A pregnancy blood test is one of the most accurate methods to confirm pregnancy. It can detect very low levels of hCG and provide precise results, making it more reliable than a standard pregnancy test, especially in early stages.
5. Can a pregnancy blood test detect pregnancy earlier than a urine test?
Yes, a pregnancy blood test can detect pregnancy earlier than a urine-based pregnancy test. Since it measures even small amounts of hCG in the blood, it can confirm pregnancy sooner than most home tests.
6. What types of pregnancy blood tests are available?
There are two main types:
Both are commonly used depending on medical needs.
7. Why would a doctor recommend a pregnancy blood test?
Doctors may recommend a pregnancy blood test to:
These tests provide deeper insights compared to a regular pregnancy test.
8. How is a pregnancy blood test performed?
A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood from your arm using a sterile needle. The process is quick and usually takes only a few minutes, with minimal discomfort.
9. How long does it take to get results?
Results from a pregnancy blood test are typically available within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the laboratory and service provider.
10. Is a pregnancy blood test safe?
Yes, a pregnancy blood test is completely safe. It is a routine medical procedure with very low risk and is commonly used worldwide to confirm pregnancy and monitor maternal health.
For expectant mothers seeking additional reassurance about their baby's health, Valeo Health also offers the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test). This advanced prenatal screening test is performed using a simple blood sample collected from the mother, making it a safe and non-invasive way to screen for the most common chromosomal abnormalities across all 22 chromosomes. The NIPT Test can be performed from 10 weeks of pregnancy, requires no fasting, and includes at-home blood sample collection by licensed nurses and laboratory partners.
11. Can a pregnancy test give a false result?
While a pregnancy test at home can sometimes give false or unclear results, a pregnancy blood test is far more accurate. It reduces the chances of false positives or negatives and provides clearer confirmation.
12. What happens after a positive pregnancy blood test?
After a positive pregnancy blood test, your doctor may recommend further tests and routine checkups to monitor your health and the baby’s development. Additional blood tests may also be scheduled during different stages of pregnancy.
13. Can I take a pregnancy blood test at home?
Yes, many healthcare providers now offer at-home sample collection for a pregnancy blood test. A trained professional visits your location, collects the sample, and delivers results securely, making the process convenient and private.
14. Is fasting required before a pregnancy blood test?
No, fasting is not usually required before a pregnancy blood test. However, it’s always best to follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider.
15. Why choose a pregnancy blood test over a regular pregnancy test?
A pregnancy blood test is preferred when you need:
16. Is a 100% Guaranteed Home Pregnancy Test really 100% accurate?
A 100% Guaranteed Home Pregnancy Test can be highly accurate when used correctly and after a missed period. However, no home pregnancy test can guarantee 100% accuracy in every situation, as testing too early or not following the instructions may affect the result. If you need earlier or more reliable confirmation, a Pregnancy Blood Test measures hCG levels in the blood and can detect pregnancy sooner with greater sensitivity. At Valeo Health, our at home Pregnancy Blood Test provides fast, accurate results with professional sample collection and medical support.
