Beta hCG (the pregnancy blood test)

Beta hCG is the blood test that confirms pregnancy after IVF by measuring the hormone hCG. Clinics often repeat it after two days to check the level is rising as expected.

Beta hCG is a blood test that measures human chorionic gonadotropin, the hormone produced in pregnancy. It is how clinics confirm a pregnancy at the end of the two-week wait.

Why it is repeated

A single number means less than the trend, so clinics usually repeat the test after about 48 hours to check the level is rising as expected.
