Falling sick before beta blood test

Was due for blood beta test on 20 Nov 23 and did home pregnancy test showing positive result (abt 3 to 4 weeks). However was feeling abit feverish and mild sore throat and wonder if it will affect the pregnancy. Took 1 paracetamol and trying to use home remedies, hopefully for this feeling to go away. Anyone with such experience and will it affect the fresh pregnancy? Abit upset thinking that things finally work but now sick before the blood test.

A mild fever and sore throat in very early pregnancy can feel really worrying, especially when you have worked so hard to get here. Paracetamol is generally considered the go-to for fever during pregnancy, but since you are so early along and heading for your beta test soon, it would be good to check in with your gynae or PD before your appointment just so they can advise you properly and put your mind at ease. Most mums I know who had a mild illness at this stage went on to have healthy pregnancies, so try not to spiral too much while you wait for your results.
