Posted on Mon, 24 Aug 2015
Question: Hi had taken gestofit 200 mg and after around 4 hours I had used home pregnancy test kit for which result was positive.
And after 3 hours again use the home pregnancy test kit but result was negative?
Please let me know whether the positive result was the reason of gestofit.

Brief Answer:
The medication you mentioned is a progesterone

Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear
welcome to health care magic.
I got your query.
I can understand your concern.
the medication you mentioned is a kind of hormone called progesterone.
usually our home pregnacy test will measure a hormone called beta HCG.
there is no cross reactivity between this two hormones.
so the progesterone may not be the likely cause of your positive pregnacy test.

in case of delayed period

I suggest you to consider repeating test with early morning same tomorrow.

Hope this satisfies your query.

feel free to discuss further in case any doubts.

How many chances are there that though upt was positive but XXXXXXX comes negative.
I was taking Gestofit and ossure forte and Mentone are syrup.
Is there any chances of chemical pregnancy....

Brief Answer:
Chance is very very rare

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear
I can understand your concern.
in my opinion the beta HCG in serum is more sensitive when compared to urine pregnacy test.
the medications what you are taking also may not have any significant association with HCG levels in your blood.
in case if I encounter a similar case in my hospital I would like to perform a procedure called trans vaginal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
in many women if upt is positive there will be associated signs of pregnancy like breast tenderness,morning sickness and tiredness.

Hope I am able to answer your query

feel free to discuss any further.
