How long do the results take?
The target turnaround time for the results is 1 working day of receiving in the laboratory. However, The turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.
Please take your sample from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab.
Sample Management
Furthermore, some rules exist about making sample at home. First, you need to take the sample close to the delivery time. Do not take the same and leave it around for 1-2 days. Please make sure that you get the sample to the drop box before the last pick-up for that box. But when you first take the sample, please rotate the tube six times to ensure it is mixed correctly with the non-clotting solution in the tube.
So, please ensure the sample leaves the drop box and travels overnight to our lab in the track24 return bag.
Also, you may obtain some help by visiting our HCG clinic near me to get your results. Therefore, a prompt return is required to ensure samples are not rejected at the laboratory’s arrival point.

The HCG Test Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagents
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Precision:
The within-assay CV is less than or equal to 10%. The between-assay CV is less than or equal to 15%.
Measuring Range:
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Precision:
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
Beta-HCG: <5.0 mIU/mL
Normal gestation:
- 0.2 – 1 gestational weeks: 5-50 mIU/mL
- 1-2 weeks: 50-500 mIU/mL
- 2-3 weeks: 100-5000 mIU/mL
- 3-4 weeks: 500-10,000 mIU/mL
- 4-5 weeks: 1,000-50,000 mIU/mL
- 5-6 weeks: 10,000-100,000 mIU/mL
- 6-8 weeks: 15,000-200,000 mIU/mL
Out-of-range results:

Does my story relate to you?
My husband and I have been TTC for 3 years now. I remember being very excited and considering the possibility of having to hide a pregnancy from wedding guests if we got lucky.
Despite my initial optimism, we were also pretty realistic. We decided not to try too hard at first and see what happened. We were enjoying being newlyweds. Sure, I would do an HCG Pregnancy Blood Test (and often a second one) every month and end up being a little disappointed. Still, I was also realistic when I did an accurate and quality Uraplasma lab Test and found that I was positive.
And that my organs might also be an issue.
I felt getting pregnant wouldn’t happen immediately, so we kept trying, tracking ovulation and paying more attention to fertile windows. A year or so in, I was beginning to worry and started discussing exams with my husband, and we decided to get a Fertility blood exam. To say he was reluctant was an understatement.
I think it came down to fear of problems, but I felt that if we did have a problem, it was better to know what we were dealing with and what could be done than to carry on in the dark. So that summer…
I decided to go ahead and at least get myself a checkup
I finally got my husband to have a semen analysis, and here we found our problem… we had the motility of a sloth. 5% progressively motile (vs 40% considered normal).
We went to the fertility clinic. And I underwent a series of further checks. Ultrasound, HSG, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and various blood exams. And various biomarkers along the way. A suspected fibroid turned out to be nothing. Mild endometriosis was treated. My husband had no exams in the past (despite my questioning the doctors as to whether he should see a urologist), and we referred for IVF with ICSI as our only option. In preparation for IVF, I visited an acupuncturist for Ureaplasma; I understood this could improve my chances of successful IVF.
Great Help from referral visitors
I visited this fantastic lady, and the options for simple STI home kits were found. And for causes of our male factor infertility were properly considered. She referred us to an andrologist. Who identified a ureaplasma disease (known to affect sperm in men and also miscarriage in women), and ultrasound identified a varicocele, also known to have a big impact on sperm production.
It has taken months more (months that are, by this time, having a significant impact on my mental health), but having undergone treatment, we should begin to see improvement in my husband’s sperm. This is timely as this will coincide with the deadline for us to undergo our NHS IVF with ICSI. We are hopeful that this will work for us. We will get there.
What was your lowest point in your journey, and what helped you recover from it?
The lowest point of my journey was discovering that I had not just 1 but 2 pregnant sisters-in-law within weeks. The timing was awful as it coincided with the postponement of my planned first round of IVF. (which I still have yet to have). I am still recovering from it, but I have taken two months off work. This is helping me process some emotions and try to build up my emotional reserve after I had my STI positive. It drained me.
Where am I right now in my journey?
After 3 years, we are waiting to embark on our first round of IVF and Ureaplasma; we need to begin before April when our NHS funding window expires. We postponed the original date that we were given. After an advanced seaman analysis, we suggested we look into the cause of some abnormal sperm parameters more closely. Further research found a ureaplasma infection as well as a varicocele.
Treatment of both of these could greatly improve our chances of success with IVF. Or, if we are very lucky, natural conception. We won’t see any improvement from the STD screening and treatment my husband received until the beginning of March, so we are hopeful that the improvement will be significant enough that we will have a much better chance of successful IVF.
What did I learn from my experience?
The major point is that infertility is treated as a female problem. That is despite our issues being down to sperm abnormalities. The system has ignored my husband. It was only down to visiting an acupuncturist that we were able to investigate the sperm issues more thoroughly. And as a result, we need to identify a varicocele and ureaplasma genital infection. One that can be treated and hopefully improve recovery.
Men should be given more investigation. And not treated by gynaecologists. A ureaplasma screening should be taken more seriously. The bacteria that impact fertility.
What would I do differently if I had to start that whole journey again?
Trust my instincts over what the HCG doctors tell me and push for more male-factor STD best private lab rather than go along with what the system tells me.
My favourite resources about fertility (websites, books, blogs or articles)
Twitter – hunting out the people and sites that deliver information
What I would tell someone else going through infertility right now
Learn how to communicate with your partner about Ureaplasma Infection. You will come from different places and find different things hard. And you will have different ideas on handling the issues you face. And have different feelings towards the people around you and what they say and do about the HCG Hormone.
This is normal, but you must learn how to make each other feel listened to and understood while maintaining your integrity and opinions. This means learning to listen actively, get interested, and know why and how your partner feels. Ultimately, you may still hold differing opinions about Pregnancy, but you will understand each other better and feel more supported.
