In reply to PMS or Pregnancy? After I stopped birth control..., posted by Neva on April 4, 2006, at 21:49:11
> I just wanted to make sure that a false positive can not occur because I went off birth control. Can it?
~~~ I'm not an expert but I'm thinking no. If it's a urine pregnancy test, it's checking for HCG which I don't think would elevated due to the ovaries coming back on line (so to speak). I would have a blood test and an exam, if it were me.
Some things can go strange with urine pregnancy tests and result in false positives but I don't think coming off BC hormone treatments would do it.
However, some else might be more in the know and blow me out of the water......
Good luck!
