What drugs can cause a false positive pregnancy test?
I got a faint positive but im on some medication for thyroid and was also taking something for fertility. Now im not sure if its real or because of the meds. Which medicines can actually mess up the result?
During my ivf the hcg trigger shot could show a false positive if I tested too soon, the doctor warned me about this. So I waited the days they told me before testing. If you are on fertility meds, please ask your clinic about timing.
Mostly it is hcg containing fertility drugs that cause this, otherwise false positives are uncommon. Rather than guessing the cause, get a beta hcg blood test through your doctor. That gives a definite answer.
My doctor mentioned that certain fertility injections containing hcg are the main culprits for false positives. Some other medications can rarely interfere too. If you are on any treatment and confused, a blood test plus your doctors input clears it up.
