Could Medication For Anxiety Cause False Positive Result In HPT?
Hello. I just took a home pregnancy test to see if I am pregnant because my period is late and it came up positive. But I am wondering if this could be false positive because last week I had taken some meds for anxiety and stress and few weeks ago took one pill for feeling like vomiting and a headache. My period was suppose to come around 26th or 27th of September. My last period was on August 27th. So I am planning on taking another test in the morning but my question is, could I have gotten a false positive results? Please help
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the only accurate and confirmative test is ultrasonography test and it need to be done to rule out the pregnancy, because other than this home base test could give false results it could be positive or negative, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
