I have thyroid issue since few years and im on medication for it. My home test came faint positive and now im wondering if my thyroid could be messing with the result somehow. Has anyone with thyroid got a confusing test like this?
I had thyroid and it never affected my pregnancy test results, they measure different things. The test only reacts to the pregnancy hormone. If you are managing thyroid, just keep up the regular checks with your doctor separately.
No, thyroid does not cause a false positive pregnancy test. The test only picks up hcg from pregnancy. If you got a positive, confirm with a blood test or your gynac.
No, a pregnancy test detects the pregnancy hormone hcg, not thyroid. My doctor explained thyroid wont turn a pregnancy test positive. They are completely separate, thyroid is checked with its own blood test.
