A member asked:
How much more accurate are the serum blood tests for confirmation than the urine home pregnancy tests? i am one week late with negative home tests.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very accurate: The serum beta HCG test can pick up very small amounts of the substance that urine pregnancy tests will falsely report as negative.
