Question : I started the sublingual hcg drops about a week ago. They are 175iu. I took a pregnancy test yesterday & it was negative, but today came up positive. Could it just be the drops or am I pregnant?

Brief Answer:
its possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi, it possible that hCG drops might have interfered with pregnancy test. But then you can never be sure. Repeat serum beta hCG blood test after one week to confirm pregnancy and get scan done. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol. IVF & Infertility Specialist
