Brief Answer:
Likely to be pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After an HCG injection, the blood levels usually fall to an undetectable levels in 3-4 days. This seems to be a rise in levels after the injection's effect is over. However it can be confirmed only after a repeat blood test after 4-5 days. Therefore I suggest you repeat blood test after 5 days to confirm.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Oh well, I AM SO HAPPY !!! Thank you so much ! So, if I understand, the blood test of XXXXXXX 8 (6 days after the injection) was the last day of "false positive" ?
Then, I am likely in the beginning of a pregnancy ? These are my last questions, I swear !
Thankd you so so much and I am so happy ! :)
