I was reading about this recently because I might need it soon. Yes, it can cause a false positive if tested early. How many days has it been since your injection? Hopefully you get a real positive soon!
Yes, beta. HCG trigger shots will give a positive test because it is literally the pregnancy hormone. It's best to wait at least 12-14 days after the shot, or just do the beta HCG blood test as advised by your clinic. Sending you a tight hug.
Yes, it absolutely can. HCG injections stay in your system for about 10 to 14 days and can give a false positive on a home test. I remember holding my baby for the first time after all this wait, please keep your hope alive and test after the recommended days.
Yes! Oh my god, I kept googling this hourly. The injection has HCG, so if you test too early, the kit will show positive even if it's just the medicine. Try to wait it out otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy with worry like I did.
With my PCOS treatment, I had HCG shots too. My doctor strictly told me not to test before 14 days because the shot needs to completely leave your body. Be patient and wait a bit more so you get an accurate result.
