Brief Answer:
Hi, I think you should repeat a bhcg level today.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.

I think you can repeat a bhcg test today. It should double in 48 hours if pregnancy is viable. If value is less than double in 48 hours, it can be a non viable pregnancy.

You can take hcg injection after giving blood sample for bhcg test. Hcg has been shown to support implantation. So, it can be taken.

A value of 240 on 20 dpo can be due to delayed implantation. It can be an indication of low quality embryo.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.
