What's your question: Home pregnancy tests are pretty accurate at looking for HCG in urine. However, you can have HCG in your urine when not pregant, say immediately after surgery for ectopic pregnancy but not likely a month later. Best to go see your doc for serial (not cereal) pregnancy tests to confirm HCG going down, not up. Also time to ask for contraception, unless you're trying to get pregnant.
