Can antibiotics give false positive pregnancy test?
I was on antibiotics for a throat infection and then tested positive, ab dimaag mein doubt aa gaya. Could the medicine have messed up the result? just want to understand before i get too excited.
No, antibiotics won't affect your pregnancy test results at all. Pregnancy tests only detect the hormone hCG, which antibiotics don't contain. If it's positive, you are most likely pregnant, so consult a doctor to confirm!
Don't worry, dear, antibiotics have no impact on pregnancy tests because they don't contain the hCG hormone. Your positive result is correct. Just consult your doctor to discuss your pregnancy and any antibiotics you are taking.
I totally understand how stressful it is to doubt your positive test! But don't worry, standard antibiotics do not cause false positives. Your positive test is likely very real, so sending you a huge warm hug!
From what I researched during my regular doctor visits, antibiotics don't interfere with hCG levels. Since you had a positive test, it's best to book a follow-up with your gynac to confirm everything and discuss your current medication.
