Positive Pregnancy Test On Bc?
Posted: 11-13-05 19:33pm

If you take a pregnancy test while you're on birth control, will it be accurate? I know people say that bc kind of tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant, so will it show up that you are pregnant on a preg. Test cause of the bc, even if you aren't really? Thanks for any insight, in advance.

I'm not certain, but on the leaflet with my pill, it says it won't affect the pregnancy test!

Bc pills will not give you a false postive test. Last year I hadn't got my period in nearly 3 months but I had been taking my bc pill religiously for 6 years. I took a pregnacy test....Just to see......It was postive!! So I called my obgyn and asked him if the pill could be affecting the test because I had never missed a pill in 6 years. He told me that bc pills have no affect on the test. I now have a beautiful 4 month old!
