Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about pregnancy possibilities.

Following is my reply:

1) Your blood test indicates pregnancy.

2) Inj.hCG you have taken on XXXXXXX 2nd has nothing to do with this report.

3) Monday blood shows pregnancy but values need to increase further.

4) Please get the blood test repeated after atleast one week which will have higher values of serum beta hCG indicative of confirmed pregnancy.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Oh thank you so much Doctor !!!
I was pretty sure my hcg level of yesterday (7 days post ovulation and 9 days post injection) was a beginning of pregnancy but I wanted to be sure and your answer confirmed what I thought !

Now, as you told me to do, I will d another blood test next week ! But I'm very happy that it all seems to be a beginning of pregnancy :)

Thank you so much once again !
