Does Microgynon Affect the Pregnancy Test Posted: 10-28-07 04:56am
Hi I have been on microgynon for a while
now and i have never missed my pill. but
the last three packs of microgynon i have
been taking wihtout the seven day break,
ie taking the pills continuously wiht out
giving myself my seven pill free days. I
have just started on my fourth pack ( due
to a very hectic new life- just moved to a
new country new job etc-travelling all the
time) and i have taken the pregnancy test
twice.Both the times its shown up as
negative.Does that mean im not pregnant or
is it the microgynon affecting the
result.Pls help.Where in london can I go
to be 100 percent sure. Would i have to
take a blood test at an NHS?

Birth control pills do not affect the
accuracy of pregnancy tests. If you've
been taking the pills continuously without
the break, you won't get a period. I
would trust the pregnancy test. I don't
think a blood test is necessary. Try
taking your 7 day break on this pack and
seeing if you get your period.

You're not pregnant, as said above birth
control pills do not effect pregnancy
tests.
I'm on microgynon too, & I really
think you should give yourself a 7 day
break at the end of this pack.. you're not
doing yourself any favours. Oh & no,
you're not pregnant.. don't waste the
doctor's time by asking for a blood test.
