Serum beta hCG blood test required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

Home pregnancy test is not always reliable. Uou might be pregnant as one of tests showed pregnancy.

I suggest you get serum beta hCG blood test done to identify pregnancy. This is most accurate test to predict pregnancy.

Let me know serum beta hCG blood test report to help you further.
