Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The chances of being pregnant are there. It is right now too early to get higher levels. The levels should cross 20 IU/L in next 4-5 days in case you are actually pregnant.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

The only question I have is: I did and hcg injection 9 days before (june 2) of 10 000 iu... I did a blood test 6 test after that, XXXXXXX 8, and the result was 21,3 iu/l. So I think the today's result is right, and not reliate to the injection ?

Brief Answer:
Likely to be pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Today's result is not likely to be due to injection. But it needs to be confirmed by rising HCG levels after 3-4 days. Therefore my suggestion to repeat test again after 4 days.

Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
