Question : I did regular blood pregnancy test and it came positive twice
Then I did Beta HCG and the result is 0.1
I did the blood test again and it came back positive
Also beta hcg still the same 0.1
I’m going crazy how it can happen like that.. why it shows positive three times with strong positive
And b hcg just 0.1

Hi,
Welcome back.
It is not related to levothyroxine that you are taking.
The false positive test could also be due to heterophilic antibodies which react with test antibodies. Usually these are produced in persons working closely with animals.
Please do a urine pregnancy test and let me know the result.

Hi
I expected urine pregnancy test to be negative.
Certain bacterial/ viral infections, treatment with immunoglobulins and blood transfusions very rarely can cause heterophile antibodies.
You need not get stressed about it.
I hope the answer is helpful.
