- Testing may find pregnancy as soon as 10 days after conception. The accuracy of pregnancy tests usually increases if it is taken at least 1–2 weeks after a missed menstrual period.
- In men and women, Beta-hCG is usually found in smaller amounts. Beta-hCG is composed of two molecules known as the alpha and beta subunits. This structure of the alpha subunit is similar to that of the follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.The beta subunit is different and found only in the Beta-hCG. That is why the Beta-hCG test is done to minimise the risk of cross-reaction.
