Pregnancy tests can be performed on both urine and blood. In the case of pregnancy tests through a blood sample, they offer greater sensitivity, since it is possible to detect a smaller amount of the beta hCG hormone.
In addition, these tests provide a quantitative result, that is, they report the exact amount of beta hCG hormone in the blood and not only indicate positive or negative. The longer the pregnancy, the more beta hCG hormone there will be in the blood.
