Can High Prolactin Levels Cause False Negative Pregnancy Test?

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2015

Question: hi, im a 22 year old girl. Healthy and active, however, I suffer from schizophrenia and i take medication that raised my prolactin levels. I take 5mg of Haloperidol and 1mg of Benztropine. Ive had unprotected sex twice in the same month, and the third time the condom broke. Im not, and never been, on birth control. Ive been experiencing a very light period, I normally have full hemorrhaging during my periods, pulling and tugging on my belly button - severe, nausea, spotting of brownish red discharge, sore tender breasts, etc. Basically some weird symptoms that I never experience before. Does that sound normal? Can high prolactin levels cause a false negative on a pregnancy test? The last time I had sex was last month in July of 2015 before the light period occured. Am I testing too early?

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the raised prolactin doesn't cause false negative pregnancy test.

Before giving you any suggestions I would like to know:-
1)When was your last period?
2)How are your cycles usually?
3)When was the light period seen after your last period?
4)When was unprotected sex done?
Kindly provide me the information.
Looking forward to hear from you.
