Brief Answer:
Stop hCG
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
Beta hCG levels show false positive results when you are on Inj.hCG . Your ositive pregnancy blood levels are probably because of this.
Don't take anymore hCG injections. Repeat serum beta hCG blood test after one week to confirm pregnancy.

Hi I hope some misunderstanding, my first positive pregnancy is through home kit and that day my blood report is 835 after seeing that my doctor advised for hgc injections for 20 times twice in a week ,I am in fertility treatment and doctor has confirmed my pregnancy before my hgc injections,my question y there is a pain in left side?
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understood your question perfectly.
Subsequent beta hCG levels are not reliable as you are are on Inj. hCG.
The pain could be due to ectopic pregnancy or ovarian hyperstimulation.
An ultrasound scan is required soon to differentiate the reason for pain.
