Blood vs. urine tests: Which is more accurate for early pregnancy detection?

I’ve been dealing with some heart issues lately—so I went ahead and had some blood work and a urinalysis done.
I was wondering if any of these results could actually indicate whether or not I'm pregnant?

Pregnancy is detected through the hCG hormone—specifically beta hCG—and you have to target that exact marker. You can find it in urine or blood, but not through these standard lab panels they run during a routine checkup.

So, to answer your question: no, a pregnancy won't show up on these specific results. If you're actually wondering if you're pregnant, just go grab an over-the-counter test from CVS or Walgreens, or ask your doctor for a referral to get a blood test for the actual beta levels.🙂
