If you want to find out if you are pregnant quicker than a home pregnancy test will allow, a pregnancy blood test is your best bet. A quick blood test at your doctor's office can confirm pregnancy between six to eight days after ovulation. This page explains how to take a pregnancy blood test.

Doctors perform pregnancy blood tests to confirm pregnancies earlier in a pregnancy and to detect potential pregnancy problems. Two types of blood tests are performed to confirm pregnancy. A qualitative hCG blood test measures the amount of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone. HCG is a hormone correlated to placental growth. This test only provides a “yes” or “no” answer for pregnancy. The quantitative hCG blood test measures the exact level of hCG in the blood. The benefit of this quantitative test is that it can provide an estimated fetus age and helps establish if the pregnancy is on track.http://www.pregnancy.ayurvediccure.com/pregnancy-blood-test.html

Know the date of your last menstrual cycle and try to determine your approximate ovulation date. If you have been tracking your fertility, you may know the exact day of your ovulation. If you do not know your exact date of ovulation, assume an ovulation date 14 days after the start of your last period.http://www.americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/understandingovulation.html

Typically, your doctor will perform a blood test about 6 to 8 days after your ovulation date. Check with your doctor to find out the earliest date they will allow you to take a blood test.

Schedule a time with your doctor when you can have your blood drawn. A small blood sample will be drawn from a vein on your hand or forearm. Typically, the site will be cleaned with an antiseptic and a tourniquet applied to your arm. The blood vessels in your forearm will enlarge slightly. A small needle will be inserted in your vein and enough blood to fill a syringe or vial will be collected. http://www.pregnancy.ayurvediccure.com/pregnancy-blood-test.html

Your test will have to be process by a lab to determine the hCG levels. Some doctors will have a lab onsite that can process the test quickly, while other will need to send it away for testing. Ask your doctor when you should have the results from your pregnancy blood test. Typically, a level of 5 mIU HCG or greater indicates you are pregnant. http://www.pregnancy.ayurvediccure.com/pregnancy-blood-test.html
