Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns about beta hCG results.

Following is my reply:

1) Congratulations. You are pregnant.

2) Since you have taken Inj. Fertigyn, this can give false positive result sometimes.

3) You have to repeat this test after 2 days to see the rise which should double after 48 hours.

4) Please repeat serum beta hCG blood test on April 2nd and let me know the result.

5) Let me know which IVF centre and doctor has done the procedure.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
