“How long to get qualitative blood pregnancy test results?”
I did a qualitative blood pregnancy test and I got results in less than 20minutes. Online it says hours to days to get results and I want to know if getting it at a shorter time means it’s less accurate.

It really depends on the lab doing the analysis and how quick they get your specimen to run it and where it sits in their priority queue. It really can take minutes especially since it's a qualitative (states if just pregnancy hormone is present) and not a quantitative (states how much pregnancy hormone is present) which can sometimes tell how far along a woman is in a pregnancy.

No. A positive test is a positive test. Time does not matter.
Usually the quantirtatice levels will double every 3 days. I dont the short interval will make it more inaccurate.
