Hello,
Thank You for the query at HealthcareMagic
Thyroid levels do not have any effect on HCG levels in your body. aBut during pregnancy HCG can stimulate thyroid gland and increase thyroid hormone levels.
I'd recommend that you if you do not get your periods in next few days, repeat home pregnancy test and follow up with your doctor.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address further questions/concerns
