How Will I Know If Iam Pregnant Posted: 07-24-04 20:34pm
I have recently started fertility
treatments during the month of july.
I was taking the drug clomid for 5 days to
help bring on ovulation and I also
recieved 2 injections of the drug novarel.
My period is due today july 24th and I
did not get it. I took a pregnancy test
and it came back positive right away but I
read that the drugs I was taking can give
you a false positive result because
novarel contains hcg. When do you think I
should test again? Will these results be
true?

If your period was due and you missed it,
call your Dr. Immediately. They
gave you fertility drugs and injections,
they will want to monitor you. They
can also find out with a blood test if you
are actually pregnant. Though they
rarely perform them anymore. Most
preganancy tests at the doctor's office
are strong enough to detect very early
amounts of hcg, but the correct amounts
for pregnancy and not fertility drugs is
questionable). I suppose a tell-tale
sign of a true pregnancy now would be the
period cramps that may come with no period
following them!
The drugs you received will produce a
false positive. Ask your doctor when
the correct date to test (when the drugs
have left your system) is. It varies
depending on the amounts you were given.
Don't lose hope though, there may very
well have been larger amounts in your
system from being pregnant, possibly why
the test came out so clearly positive so
quickly!
Good luck, let us know!!
If you are not pregnant, don't fret.
Drugs never helped me conceive, even after
2 years of trying (me, not you, we are
all different). Eventually I just gave
up. I have 3 children now, conceived
naturally!! Life is strange
sometimes!! :d

Thank you for replying, unfortunately I
had some problems again, my doctor seems
to think I conceived but the egg was bad
and I miscarried before I even knew if I
was pregnant for sure or not. I thought I
got my period but the doctor said it was
an early miscarriage or " spontaneous
abortion". Its very discouraging my
husband and I have been going through this
for 2 years now and I don't know how much
more disappointment I can take. Its
frustrating because I do have 1 child from
a previous relationship and my husband
also has a son from a previous
relationship. We so desperately want one
together and its just not happenning
