I am asking for a friend of mine, she is nearing her goal weight, and had been on HcG went off for her period and then stopped I think before reaching 21 days, she thought she would start up again yesterday, but had been feeling pretty crappy so after she gave herself her first injection she decided to take a dip stick pregnancy test (the medical grade type) And even though her period isnt due till Nov 30th it said POSITIVE!!! so she did like 6 more tests all said postive, she did some from the store (test) they said negative....and even today she just took a test even though it was yesterday she took one injection of 175ui HcG the pregnancy test still said postive.
This would mean these pregnancy tests are detecting pregnancy VERY early on....or could her one injection of 175 cause hcg to be present in her urine. It's been about 2.5 weeks since he period so that round of hcg she did before her period should be gone...so whats going on? Anyone else had this happen.
Or even better question, has anyone had positive pregnancy tests due to just the injections?
Any thoughts on this would be nice. She's dreading the next week or so wondering, before she either misses her next period or can take a store test.
thats right so far she taken 8 tests, all says pregnant.
yea, a pregnancy test reacts to hcg so if you are taking hcg then a pregnancy test will show up positive.
Heres what Dr. S says: It must also be mentioned that when a woman becomes pregnant during treatment - and this is by no means uncommon - she at once ceases to lose weight. An unexplained arrest of reduction has on several occasions raised our suspicion before the first period was missed. If in such cases, menstruation is delayed, we stop injecting and do a precipitation test five days later. No pregnancy test should be carried out earlier than five days after the last injection, as otherwise the HCG may give a false positive result.
