Pregnancy Blood Test is $20.95, about $16.76 with the 20% promotion; fertility hormone panels range up to $518.95 before discount (pricing at time of writing).

At a glance

A blood pregnancy test detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone produced early in pregnancy, and reports a clear positive or negative result. Because blood testing is more sensitive than urine testing, it can confirm pregnancy at an earlier stage than a home strip. It is a single lab draw you can order online, with reproductive hormone panels available through the same promotion if you want a broader picture.

Best suited for

  • Anyone who wants lab-grade confirmation of a positive or negative home pregnancy test
  • People testing earlier than a urine strip can reliably detect
  • Those on a fertility journey who want documented results to share with their clinician
  • Anyone with symptoms or cycle changes that make home-test timing unclear

Deep-dive the key markers: Estradiol, Total Testosterone, TSH

Key biomarker ranges

Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.

Estradiol (pg/mL)

Adult female follicular-phase ranges shown; estradiol varies widely across the cycle and drops after menopause, so cycle timing is essential to interpretation.

Estradiol reference ranges (pg/mL)
ZoneRange
Low030 pg/mL
Follicular range30150 pg/mL
High150250 pg/mL
Total Testosterone (ng/dL)

Adult male ranges shown; commonly used reference ranges run roughly 300–1,000 ng/dL, with morning draws the standard since levels peak early in the day.

Total Testosterone reference ranges (ng/dL)
ZoneRange
Low0300 ng/dL
Normal range3001000 ng/dL
High10001200 ng/dL
TSH (µIU/mL)

Commonly used reference ranges run roughly 0.4–4.0 µIU/mL; TSH moves inversely to thyroid activity, and time of day, illness, and biotin can skew results.

ZoneRange
Low00.4 µIU/mL
Normal range0.44 µIU/mL
Mildly elevated46 µIU/mL
High610 µIU/mL

The importance of testing

Home urine tests are convenient, but they depend on hCG reaching a detectable concentration in urine, which takes longer than it does in blood. A blood hCG test is more sensitive, so it can confirm pregnancy in earlier stages, which matters when timing is important to you or when a faint or conflicting home-test result leaves you unsure.

This is a qualitative test: it reports whether hCG was detected, as a simple positive or negative. A positive result confirms pregnancy, while a negative means no hCG was detected at the time of the draw. Doctors use this same type of test to verify pregnancy and evaluate symptoms, so a lab result also gives you documentation you can share with your clinician.

If you are testing as part of a broader fertility journey, the same promotion includes tiered reproductive hormone panels, from a basic 3-test screen to a 14-test, 19-biomarker Fertility Insights profile, that measure the hormones involved in cycles and conception. Reviewing those results with your doctor can help put a pregnancy test result, positive or negative, into fuller context.

Frequently asked questions

How early can a blood test detect pregnancy?

A blood hCG test is more sensitive than urine tests, so it can confirm pregnancy at an earlier stage than a home strip. Exactly how early depends on when hCG becomes detectable in your blood, which varies from person to person, so a very early negative is worth repeating or discussing with your doctor if your period does not arrive.

Is this a quantitative hCG test with a number, or just positive/negative?

This is a qualitative test, so results are reported as positive (hCG detected) or negative (no hCG detected) rather than as a numeric level. If you and your doctor need a numeric hCG value to track over time, ask about quantitative beta hCG testing instead.

Can I order a blood pregnancy test without a doctor's visit?

Yes, you can order the test directly online through the partner page without booking a doctor's appointment first. You complete a standard blood draw and receive your result, which you can then share with your clinician for any follow-up care.

What does the blood pregnancy test cost?

The Pregnancy Blood Test is listed at $20.95, or about $16.76 with the current 20% promotion using code ULTA14F8. Pricing is accurate at time of writing, confirm the final price on the partner page before ordering.

Is this test available in every US state?

No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. Elsewhere in the US, you can typically order online and complete the draw at a participating lab location.
