Brief Answer:
Get serum beta hCG blood test and TVS scan

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about lighter lines.

Following is my reply:

1) These lines are not confirmation of a viable pregnancy.

2) Best way to identify the viable levels are by doing serum beta hCG blood test which shows specific rise in blood value.

3) Dont take hucog 5000 anymore. Get transvaginal ultrasound scan also done if possible to identify gestational sac. This is more reliable.

4) More reliable would be blood test and ultrasound scan and get it soon.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
