I am on progesterone support after ovulation and now my period is late by 2 days. I want to test but scared it may show wrong because of the tablets. Anyone who tested while taking it, pls tell your experience.
I had the same question when I was on it! My nurse said it wont mess up the kit reading. So you can test normally na? Thats what I understood at least.
I was on progesterone support and my tests were still accurate, it works on a different hormone than what the kit checks. The only thing is it can hold off your period so you may not get the usual sign. Best to confirm with a blood test if unsure.
My doctor told me progesterone does not affect the home pregnancy test, because the test detects hCG, a different hormone. So progesterone wont give a false positive. But it can delay your period, so dont go by period timing alone.
No it doesnt change the result of the kit. The kit checks hCG, progesterone is separate. Just dont rely only on your period being late since progesterone can delay it. A beta hCG blood test gives the clearest answer.
Generally no, it doesnt cause a false result on a urine test. But if you are taking it under treatment, your gynac is the best person to interpret your test and timing. Ask her if youre confused, dont guess.
