I work in a lab at a hospital. The test we perform is a urine test. Its basically like the ones you buy in a drugstore. It picks up a hormone that is secreted into your urine. I don't believe theres a blood test for it, at least at the hospital I work at.

im in a health class at school right now and we learned that regular urine pregnancy tests are just as good and less expensive then blood tests so i would recomend a urine test instead.
