How to test hgc levels at home

Does anyone know a way I'd be able to test my levels/numbers of the pregnancy hormone from home please?

I've had several positive pregnancy tests recently, we believe we conveived on the 7th of July ( our wedding) and my first day of last period was 17th of June so app is showing as 5 weeks 1 day pregnant.

However very upsettingly I'm bleeding, is was brown (old blood) but is no slightly red. The third test yesterday showed 2 to 3 weeks pregnant so it's risen in just a couple of days but I'd like to see if there's a more accurate way to track.

Thanks so much xxx

Unfortunately (or fortunately since it would lead to a hell of a lot of anxiety for many women) the only way is via blood tests at the doctor's. That I'm aware of at least.

The CB weeks indicators may give a rough estimate but are not diagnostic, they're more for fun and are very inaccurate for many.

It's that worrying time of wait and see I'm afraid, or see if somewhere will take bloods for you?

Thank you so much for your reply, that helps as I was searching online thinking I could somehow find out from home.

I've decided to try 111 who have requested a gp gives me a call, I'm sure they'll just tell me to wait it out but it's my first pregnancy so I didn't know what to do.

Thank you again xxx
