Can diazepam/valium really boost HCG levels?

[The_Berry]

I've read in a couple of sources that diazepam/valium can temporarily boost HCG levels. Does anybody know if this is actually the case?

I ask because I'm tracking my HCG down following a miscarriage and I have been taking diazepam on and off because I've been so anxious about it. My levels were at 8 last week. If diazepam can affect HCG, does anybody know by how much? And how quickly it'd have an effect on the levels, and how long for?

I haven't taken much diazepam recently. 2mg yesterday, and 2mg a few days ago. My next blood test is on Monday.

Thanks all,

Jenny.

Hi Jenny sorry for your loss. I don't know the answer but didn't want to read and run. Maybe give your gp a call? x

Just an update on this, if anyone else wants to know... it doesn't seem that my diazepam use ever affected my HCG levels. There was no pattern I could see, anyway.
