Doc had given me provera last month and now my test is showing positive, so im confused if its real or because of the medicine. Has anyone had this happen? Matlab can it mess up the result?
I totally understand the mixture of hope and anxiety you must be feeling looking at that test. Provera actually doesn't make a pregnancy test positive, so this beautiful double line means you might really be pregnant! Please reach out to your doctor with love and care, and get a blood test done to confirm.
No, Provera cannot cause a false positive pregnancy test because it doesn't contain hCG. If your test is showing positive, you are likely pregnant. You should stop taking Provera (as it's often used for other things) and consult your gynac right away to confirm.
Oh, my heart goes out to you during this confusing time. To answer your question, Provera cannot cause a positive test, so this is likely a real positive. Please connect with your gynac as soon as possible to get a blood test done and start your prenatal care.
When I first got my positive test, I felt so overwhelmed and kept questioning if it was real or due to my medications. But my doctor explained that progesterone tablets like Provera don't affect the test results. I felt so relieved when she confirmed it with a blood test, so please call your doc!
Provera doesn't have the hCG hormone, so it won't give a positive test unless you are actually pregnant. I remember I kept up with my gentle walking and yoga only after my doctor confirmed my pregnancy with a proper blood test. Please check with your doctor before doing any physical activity or changing your medicines.
Having gone through a loss before, I know how emotional seeing that positive line can be. Provera is progesterone and doesn't contain the pregnancy hormone hCG, so it won't cause a fake positive test. If your test is positive, you might actually be pregnant, so please call your doctor immediately to check your hormone levels and guide you safely.
