Does Triptorelin injection cause false positive pregnancy result?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have doubt regarding positive pregnancy after embryo transfer. My wife had an embryo transfer before 15 days. She took Ovidrel trigger shot before two days of embryo transfer. Then, she took Triptorelin injection one day after transfer and another injection seven days after transfer. On the seventh day, before taking Triptorelin injection, we went for a beta hCG test, and the value was 46. Does Triptorelin injection of 0.1 mg give the false positive result? Will Triptorelin produce hCG?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • Synthetic analogs of hCG are well known to cause false positive tests for hCG and Triptorelin is one among them.
  • The hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) value of 46 probably indicates false positive tests due to Triptorelin.

For further information consult a sexologist online.
