Brief answer:
No, hormonal imbalance doesn't interfere with pregnancy test results. Ultrasound scan advised to rule out pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.
I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.
Based on what you said, you are probably not pregnant. Pregnancy test is based on detection of beta-HCG in urine. This hormone is different from estrogen or progesterone. Pregnancy tests are specifically designed to detect only HCG and not estrogen or progesterone and will not be affected by your hormonal imbalance.
If there is still doubt, you are advised to get an ultrasound scan. It will show whether sac has been formed in uterus or not. Also consult your gynecologist for missing string as it also occur during pregnancy or IUD expelled from uterus.
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.
Regards!
