Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) testing measures levels of a hormone produced during early pregnancy. HCG blood tests and urine tests both detect this hormone, but they differ significantly in sensitivity, timing, and accuracy. Blood analysis can detect HCG levels as low as 1-5 mIU/mL, whilst urine tests typically require 20-25 mIU/mL for a positive result.
