As Featured In
A quantitative hCG blood test can confirm pregnancy and measure the hCG concentration. Results must be interpreted with dates, symptoms and, where needed, repeat testing or ultrasound.
Severe one-sided pelvic pain, shoulder-tip pain, fainting or heavy bleeding needs urgent assessment rather than a routine blood test. Those symptoms can occur in ectopic pregnancy.

Why choose a quantitative hCG blood test?
Serum hCG is measured as a number, which can help when confirmation or serial monitoring is clinically useful. Early-pregnancy assessment often needs symptoms, serial hCG (two or more results compared over time) and ultrasound, rather than one result alone.
A home urine test is the simpler option for a yes/no answer when there is no pain or bleeding.

Analytes: Quantitative serum hCG
Turnaround: Usually 1 working day
- •This test measures the concentration of pregnancy hormone in blood at the time of sampling. It is not an ultrasound and does not show pregnancy location.
Have a doctor review your hCG result
One hCG result shows that the hormone is present and how much. It cannot show where the pregnancy is or whether it is progressing. That usually needs a second sample or an ultrasound scan. A private GP can explain your result, arrange the repeat test and refer you for a scan when one is needed.
Pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness or fainting needs urgent assessment, not a routine blood test.
- •Book a GP consultation first if you have symptoms or want a plan for repeat testing
- •The report is usually ready within 1 working day
- •Book a follow-up consultation to go through the result and agree the next step

Confirmation, repeat levels and numerical hCG
A broader gynaecology review is a separate appointment if that is what is needed.
- •Confirming a possible pregnancy
- •A clinician-requested repeat hCG measurement
- •Pregnancy assessment where a numerical level is useful
Dates, pain and fertility treatment
No fasting is required. Provide the first day of your last menstrual period, and mention pain, bleeding or fertility treatment when you book.
Sampling on Harley Street usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, and the report is usually ready within 1 working day.
What one hCG result cannot settle
- •One hCG result cannot confirm pregnancy location or viability.
- •Pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness or fainting requires urgent clinical assessment.
Usually 1 working day. Your laboratory report is supplied securely.
The blood-test price covers the laboratory report, not a consultation. A separate GP consultation is £150 if you want a doctor to interpret the result with your symptoms and history.

What our patients say
“Quick, painless draw and 4-hour results”
“Had an appointment at 1:30 PM but got there early and the staff were happy to draw my blood earlier since there was availability. Quick and painless process with a professional phlebotomist. The turnaround time stated on the website for the test was 4 hours, and sure enough, I received my results super easy with no issues. Would recommend this service.”
“Heard, understood and reassured”
“The clinic is warm and welcoming. In my experience, every time I was there, I found myself heard and understood. My health issues have been tackled in the best of ways. Miss Arjeta is absolutely a master of blood tests, you will not feel anything. Dr Bakhtiar is knowledgeable and calm, I always feel reassured after speaking to him. I genuinely recommend this clinic.”
“Results faster than expected at a walk-in clinic”
“I recently had a blood test for rabbit allergies at Medical Express Clinic, and I'm extremely pleased with the service. Not only did I receive my results faster than expected, but the receptionist was fabulous, she answered all my questions and accommodated all my requests. It's the only walk-in clinic I found in central London with reasonable prices. Highly recommend this clinic!”
Common questions
How is this different from a urine pregnancy test?
Blood hCG is measured as a number and is useful when a quantitative level or a repeat measurement is needed.
Can one result confirm a healthy pregnancy?
One result cannot confirm where the pregnancy is or whether it is progressing. Follow-up often includes a repeat hCG or ultrasound.
Can a doctor go through my result with me?
A private GP consultation is £150, and a follow-up consultation for existing patients is £100. The doctor reviews the result alongside your symptoms and agrees the next step.
