The only medications that can cause a false positive on a home pregnancy test are those than contain hCG itself. If you are taking fertility medications with hCG - e.g. Novarel, Profasi, Pregnyl - please consult your doctor regarding appropriate times and circumstances for using our tests. Other fertility drugs and medications that do not contain hCG will not precipitate false positive results. Similarly, progesterone will not cause a false positive as well.

Most medications, both over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including birth control pills and antibiotics, should not affect the results of a home pregnancy test (such as Profasi, Pregnyl or Novarel). Only those drugs that have the pregnancy hormone hCG in them can give a false positive test result (where the test says you are pregnant when you actually are not). Drugs that have hCG in them can be used for treating infertility (not being able to get pregnant).

Proper test procedure requires that the subject have nothing in their mouth for 10 to 15 minutes prior to testing. If the subject has anything with alcohol in their mouth just prior to testing, the alcohol in their mouth will contaminate the test, giving an artificially high reading. However, 15 minutes is sufficient time for all mouth alcohol to be dissipated.

Although we have made the operation of our testers quite simple and automatic, the testers include advanced setup features to satisfy the most demanding users. However, some operators may set it up wrong or misinterpret the results. For example, if one operator sets the tester at a partial test of 16Mx64, another operator may be confused to see a 16Mx72 module tests at %16Mx64. This operator may not be aware that the "%" prefix indicate a setup for partial tests...

The "test" color band indicates a positive or negative result (please refer to the graphic below).

When taking fertility drugs, there is always a chance for multiple births. Dr. Witten, however, can use ultrasound and blood tests to monitor egg production each cycle. Medication can be adjusted to increase or decrease egg production and minimize the risk of multiple birth.

If you are taking antibiotics, the contraceptive pill, or painkillers, this should not affect the result of the test. If you are on any fertility medication, for example Clomid, you may receive a false positive. Speak to your pharmacist or carer for more info.

Taking a home pregnancy test is simple - though instructions must be followed precisely for both test strips and midstream tests. For test strips, immerse the strip into the urine sample with the arrow end pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX (Marker Line). Take the strip out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface. Next, wait for colored bands to appear.
