About this test

This test measures two hormones together, beta-hCG and progesterone. Tracking both is commonly used to look at early pregnancy hormone patterns, which some people use alongside a history of previous pregnancy complications or fertility treatment, though any concerns are best discussed with a GP or fertility specialist.

We do not have a comparison group of similar two-marker tests to benchmark this one against directly, so it is considered here against the wider set of fertility tests we track rather than named peers.

Value for money scores well, with £62 sitting about 20% below the £77.13 median for the 22 similarly sized fertility tests we track. Clinical depth scores around the middle of the range, in the 54th percentile of fertility tests by marker count. Collection convenience scores more moderately because it requires a venous draw at a clinic or home nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit, while trust signals and results and follow-up both score well.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants to track both beta-hCG and progesterone together in early pregnancy, for example after previous complications or during fertility treatment, and who is comfortable attending a clinic or booking a home nurse visit rather than testing entirely at home.

We do not track a comparable two-marker pregnancy test from another provider to suggest as a cheaper or more convenient alternative.

How it works

You provide a venous blood sample at an in-store clinic or via a home nurse visit; there is no finger-prick option for this test. Medichecks states results are returned within 2 days, with a doctor's comment included as standard.
