A member asked:

Is there another way of finding out if pregnant with out using hcg detection tests?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HCG tests: Home pregnancy tests are not always accurate, especially if utilize only a few days after an expected period . HCG in serum is present and detectable in small amounts and is used if menstrual dates are uncertain, bleeding occurs when pregnancy is possible, and is more accurate than home pregnancy tests.
