This study is looking at how well a patient's pregnancy status can be measured by comparing beta-hCG levels (a hormone produced during pregnancy) from two different blood samples: one taken from a vein (venipuncture) and one from a finger stick. The goal is to see if the levels from a finger stick are similar enough to those from a vein, which could help understand when finger stick tests might not be able to detect pregnancy anymore. You can join if you are a woman aged 19 or older, are confirmed pregnant in your medical records, and are visiting a Nebraska Medicine OB/GYN clinic. The study will measure your beta-hCG value once on the day you enroll. The current recruitment status is unclear.
