HCG shots and pregnancy test

I am taking the HCG shots for weight loss. I am wondering if I were to take an at home pregnancy test if it would come out positive due to me injecting the  shots weekly, even if I were not pregnant?

Yes, they are giving it to men as well. I did this program and lost 50 lbs in about 2 months. I never had a problem with false positives. Just get the regular tests instead of the early result ones since they are not as sensitive.

Yes you would because pregnancy tests measure your levels of HCG.
