Suggest Remedy For Pregnancy Symptoms When On HCG Diet

I have been doing the HCG diet for the past 3 weeks. The first 2 weeks I did the 500 calorie diet but stopped on week 3 but continued the daily hcg injections. I have missed my period and am having pregnancy symptoms. I have not taken a home test since in will show positive due to the hormones. I stopped taking the injections 2 days ago when I started suspecting a possible pregnancy. How long does it take for the hcg (low dose daily injection) to get out of your system and how soon can I take an accurate pregnancy test. I did call my obgyn to schedule an ultrasound but they are booked solid until August. And it would take just as long to get in with a different doctor as a new patient.

Hi,

Hcg diet can increase your fertility and you can get pregnant while on the Hcg diet. In order to confirm pregnancy,you need to wait for at least 10 days to take a pregnancy test. After 10 days, false positive pregnancy test can be avoided since any externally administered drug will clear out of your system after 10 days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
