A member asked:

Do birth control pills raise your hcg level?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: High HCG is usually related to pregnancy or pregnancy complications such as molar pregnancy. I would see your obgyn as soon as possible and have a sonogram done. Bcp will not cause an increase in hcg.

A member asked:

I am around 5 week pregnant (last period was on 10-Sep). My Hcg hormone level is 800+ Miu/ml and progesterone 26.2 ng/ml. Because I have history of miscarriages i was advised to take cyclogest pessaries (2 per day). Will this cause birth defects?
