Can A Thyroid Problem Affect HCG In The Blood?
I have been having pregnancy for several weeks. This would be by 7th pregnancy (I have 3 children). One week after what I believe was implantation I had a hcg quantitative test that said 1. My symptoms have not gone away, and some others have become noticed. The doctor says I have a problem based on all my symptoms. Is it possible for a thyroid problem to mask or hide HCG in the blood? Or could it have been too soon?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The level of hCG below5 is confirmatory of the non pregnant state.
Thyroid hormone disturbances do not affect the hCG detection in blood or urine.
If your hCG is 1, then the pregnancy is definitely ruled out.
I suggest you to repeat your hCG levels after48 hours, to see the increase levels in case of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
