Question : LMP was 5th Sept 2014. My beta HCG on 7th Oct was 470.5. Had a hcg 5000iu injection on 8th Oct as my mother had a large number of miscarraiges and I was worried about losing the baby. Checked my beta hcg on 12th Oct morning and it is 2693.8. Does this suggest a viable pregnancy or is the beta hcg from the hcg injection i took. Is it supposed to be more as i took a hcg injection?

Brief Answer:
It is difficult to tell now

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

It is difficult to tell now whether the beta HCG is of your body or from the injection.

But looking at your scenario most probably it is from your pregnancy.

Ultrasound scan confirms the viability.Get a sonography to check viability.
