Hello Priyanka,
First of all I would like to tell you that the positive blood b HCG means that you are pregnant.
You need to repeat the test after 48 hours to see the trend of increase in value and accordingly plan ultrasound scan for confirmation, localisation and viability of pregnancy.
Also, as you said, you were being treated for hypothyroidism, so I suppose that you are continuing with thyroid medication. If not, you need to recheck the TSH levels and consult doctor for the thyroid medication dosage.
You should also take folic acid.
Do not take stress about other things at present, now that b HCG is positive.
Hope this is helpful to you.
