Wondering if you’re pregnant? An early pregnancy test can give you a clear answer and help you know what to do next.
At Luna Fertility, we provide personalised early pregnancy testing in London, including blood tests, urine tests, and early pregnancy scans.
Whether you’re trying naturally or have had IVF, our fertility team is here to provide clear results and expert guidance.
An early pregnancy test can mean more when it is interpreted by an experienced fertility team.
At Luna Fertility, we consider your individual circumstances rather than looking at the test result alone.
You can benefit from:
This can be especially helpful after IVF, fertility treatment, or previous pregnancy concerns.
At our fertility clinic in London, we provide different ways to assess an early pregnancy, depending on your stage of pregnancy and clinical needs.
A beta-hCG blood test checks the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. It can help confirm pregnancy at an early stage.
Unlike a basic home test, a quantitative blood test provides your actual hCG level. Where needed, we may recommend repeat testing to monitor how your levels change.
A urine pregnancy test offers a simple and convenient way to check for pregnancy by detecting hCG in your urine. It can provide a quick result when used at the appropriate time.
Testing too early may give a negative result even if you are pregnant. Our team can advise you on the right timing based on your menstrual cycle or recent infertility treatment.
An early 3D pregnancy ultrasound scan uses ultrasound imaging to assess an early pregnancy once it is developed enough to be seen. It may provide important information about the pregnancy and its location.
The timing of the scan is important. If performed very early, some pregnancy structures may not yet be visible. Our specialists can advise when an early scan is appropriate for you.
As the top IVF center in London, our process is designed to be straightforward and focused on your individual needs.
Start by arranging an appointment with the fertility team. You can discuss why you want an early pregnancy test and any concerns you may have.
Your clinician may ask about your menstrual cycle, previous pregnancies, fertility treatment, medications, symptoms, and relevant medical history.
This helps determine which type of pregnancy assessment is appropriate.
Depending on your circumstances, you may have a blood test, urine pregnancy test, or early pregnancy ultrasound. Sometimes more than one type of assessment may be recommended.
Your results will be explained in context. If further testing, repeat beta-hCG measurement, ultrasound monitoring, or routine antenatal care is appropriate, you can discuss the next steps with your clinician.
At Luna Fertility, we can recommend the most appropriate test based on your circumstances.
You may benefit from early pregnancy testing if you:
The right test and timing depend on your individual situation.
Our team can guide you through the available options and explain your results clearly.
Pregnancy testing after IVF can feel like an important milestone. Testing at the right time helps avoid unclear or misleading results.
At Luna Fertility, testing and follow-up may include:
If you have used an hCG-containing fertility medication, your specialist can also advise on the right time to test and help you understand the result.
An early pregnancy test primarily helps determine whether pregnancy has occurred.
However, pregnancy testing may be part of a wider assessment when someone has symptoms or concerns during the early stages of pregnancy.
Depending on the circumstances, your clinician may consider issues such as:
An early pregnancy test alone cannot diagnose every pregnancy complication.
Blood testing, repeat hCG measurements, ultrasound, and clinical assessment may be needed when appropriate.
The appropriate time for pregnancy testing depends on your menstrual cycle, the type of test, and whether you have undergone fertility treatment.
You may consider an early pregnancy test:
If you experience pain, bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical advice promptly.
A pregnancy test should not be used on its own to assess possible early pregnancy complications.
The cost of an early pregnancy test in London depends on the type of test and assessment you need.
At Luna Fertility, your costs may vary based on whether you require:
Your clinician can explain the recommended tests and associated costs before you proceed, so you know what to expect.
A positive pregnancy test usually means hCG has been detected, while a negative result may mean you are not pregnant. However, testing too early can sometimes produce a negative result before hCG levels are detectable.
Your results may depend on the type and timing of the test. At Luna Fertility, your clinician can help you understand:
Our team provides clear, personalised guidance so you understand your results and the next steps in your care.
Some symptoms in early pregnancy need prompt medical assessment. Seek urgent medical care if you experience:
These symptoms can sometimes be associated with complications such as an ectopic pregnancy.
If you feel seriously unwell or symptoms are severe, seek emergency medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
