Hello dear
A positive urine pregnancy test soon after an HCG trigger (10,000 IU) may be due to remaining injected HCG, not actual pregnancy.
✅ Early testing may give false-positive result
👉 Best advice:
Repeat urine pregnancy test after 14 days of trigger shot or do serum β-HCG for confirmation.

A positive urine test this early can be due to the hCG trigger shot, as injected hCG can remain in the body for 10–12 days and cause a false positive.
At this stage, it is too early to confirm pregnancy on a urine test.
What to do next:
• Get a blood β-hCG test and repeat after 48 hours
• Rising values suggest pregnancy; falling values suggest trigger effect
• Repeat urine test after your missed period for confirmation
