How Long Can One Sustain HCG Diet In Body?

I started the HCG diet but I only did it for a whole week because I was not feeling good. A week after I finished the diet, I did a pregnacy test and it came out positive. I am worried the positive is just for the HCG that I took during the diet. How long does the HCG stays in your body?

Hi,

Welcome to healthcare magic. I have read your question.

I would like to reply as below:

1) Pregnancy test detects hCG levels in body.

2) Hence this pregnancy test is due to the hCG diet and not pregnancy.
