They are similar. HCG tests look for the HCG hormone in either blood or urine, but it is only detected at a certain level, 20 units, I believe. Beta HCG, on the other hand, is a blood test that detects the exact amount of HCG in your bloodstream. It will give the doctor an exact number, so technically, pregnancy can be diagnosed sooner.

Your pregnancy blood test came back as 21941 what does that mean?
A qualitative hCG test detects if hCG is present in the blood. The result is either positive or negative.You have had a quantitative hCG test (or beta hCG) which measures the amount of hCG actually present in the blood. A beta hCG level of 21,941mIU/ml means you are over six weeks pregnant or if you know you are less than 6 weeks, pregnant there is more than one embryo.
Are you pregnant if a home pregnancy test came back positive and a laboratory urine test was inconclusive and why would they be different?
Hello there. Yes you may very well be pregnant. A pregnancy test will only turn positive once HCG has been found in your urine. BUT there needs to be ENOUGH HCG in your urine to make a positive test result. Depending on the pregnancy test, they usually look for 5MIU - 50MIU. If you had 49MIU of HCG in your urine and did a test that looks for 50MIU it would be negative. The same thing applies to the Labatory urine pregnancy test. When they did the test you probably didn't have enough HCG in your urine to give you a positive. You need to have a blood test. Urine tests are NOT reliable and give negative results when women are indeed pregnant. See your doctor for a Quantitative Beta HCG pregnancy test. Good luck.
