Pregnancy Test: Yes - Serum HCG (blood) is the gold standard.

A serum HCG might: detect pregnancy a few days sooner than a urine HCG, but, by the time you get to a doctor to have it drawn and then wait for the results, you might as well do a home urine pregnancy test. If you do the test right after you wake up (when the urine is most concentrated) it's quite accurate. You can do the test as soon as 7 days from today.

If you have a miscarriage from an ectopic pregnancy can you get a false positive pregnant test and a missed period for your next period
