Brief Answer:
YES it will get affected

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

YES it will get affected as the marker test cannot differentiate between the two.

Can I ask you why you are taking beta hcg and why doing the marker test specifically now ?

Feel free to consult me directly
