Yes and no. A simple cyst should not cause an elevated hCG. However, your hCG is not rising appropriately. What does that mean? Well, early in pregnancy we expect the hCG to double every 2 days, approximately. If it consistently does not double correctly, the pregnancy is abnormal and will likely end in a miscarriage. Your doctor is tracking your hCG level with blood tests- there is no reason to continue the urine home pregnancy tests. I'm sorry to tell you that this is not a normal pregnancy. There is a high chance that you will not end up with a baby in 9 months. Good luck!! If you were trying to get pregnant, try again when all this is over!
