How much does it cost for a pregnancy test?

Are you planning to take a pregnancy test but worried about how much it would cost? Fear not! In this article, we will uncover the different types of pregnancy tests available in the market and their costs.

Introduction

When it comes to taking a pregnancy test, there are several options available. But with so many brands and types of tests, it’s incredibly easy to get overwhelmed. Not only that, but prices can also vary widely depending on where you buy them from.

So let’s dive into this essential matter headfirst!

Different Types of Pregnancy Tests Available

Before discussing the cost, let’s understand the various types of pregnancy tests.

Urine Home Pregnancy Tests

The most popular type among women is urine home pregnancy testing kits. These accessible kits detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone levels in your urine stream which indicate whether you’re pregnant or not.

Blood-Based Pregnancy Tests

Blood-based pregnancies involve drawing blood samples for laboratory analysis. These are considered more accurate than at-home urine testing as they measure lower levels of hCG hormones present in your bloodstream.

Quantitative Blood Pregnancy Test

Quantitative blood-based pregnancy tests identify extremely low concentrations (as low as 10 mIU/ml) by measuring exact hCG hormonal amounts accurately in your bloodstream through computerized technology provided by medical professionals at clinics/hospitals/lab-specified services (quite fancy isn’t it?).

Now that you know all possible ways to tell if indeed there is any good news waiting for us ahead,

Let’s compare some common brands’ rates(from lowest-to-highest).

For reference:
1 USD = approx 71 INR.

Brand & Name Type Price range
Prega News Urine-only 50-100 INR
Clearblue Urine-only 250 -1400 INR
First Response Urine & Blood (combo-pack) 1500 – 3500 INR

Prega News

Prega News is a famous and affordable brand in India that offers urine pregnancy test kits. The kit costs from 50-100 Indian Rupees, making it easy to see why it’s preferred by many.

Clearblue Pregnancy Testing Kits

If you’re looking for more advanced features in your home-testing kit, you should look no further than the ClearBlue brand with trendy digital display, which conveniently indicates whether or not a woman is expecting or not within two minutes on the digital screen (I mean come on!).. On average cost of these tests lies between Rs250 to Rs1,400 in stores..

First Response Early Result Kit

If you want an early detection option (‘cos who likes waiting?) then consider the First Response Early Result Kit due to its double hormone detecting panel(picked up at least one promising concentration after just six days post-conception!)

Price-wise however; this starter combo pack comes above premium lines when checked out online/medical stores based anywhere around prices approximating:
Rs1500-Rs3,500 depending upon location availability etc.

Blood-Based testing services offered at clinics/hospitals through specified diagnostic labs.

However, if you do end up going for blood-based pregnancies methods as mentioned earlier; such quantitative blood analysis simply tells how much hCG’s real-time presence level (cool talk alert!) helps doctors think-procedure performed rightly better overall cause-price ratio ranges upto roughly Rs800-Rs1200 excluding doctor consultation fee visits..

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen who made it to the end of the article! From our analysis above, the cost of a pregnancy test varies depending on multiple factors such as brand durability-upgrade features/selective certification methods-used in them.
