How does a SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test work ?When a woman becomes pregnant, her body begins to produce hCG, a hormone which is released into the blood where its concentration rises over time. The SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test uses a pair of specific antibodies to detect this hCG hormone and gives a positive result when the hCG level in the blood is higher than 25 IU/L as determined against the World Health Organisation (W.H.O) reference standard. This is the same hormone detected in urine pregnancy test kits.

The SELFCheck Pregnancy blood test has been independently assessed by scientists and doctors to prove that they provide reliable results, meet UK and EU regulations and designed to be easy to use. Urine pregnancy test kits are usually able to detect hCG about 1 week after a missed period, but sensitive blood tests such as SELFCheck, can show if you are pregnant just a few days after conception.
