If you take a pregnancy test will it also come out positive or will it only come out positive if you really are pregnant?
I haven't taken a test nor do i think that I am pregnant (on the time of the month right now) just wondering for future reference.
Answer:
The pregnancy tests try to detect a hormone (hCG) that is produced only if there is an embryo inside your uterus. If there is no embryo, then the hormone will not be produced.
The pregnancy tests are fine if you are on the pill.
Sources/Info:
"Home pregnancy tests (HPTs) are designed to detect hCG, a hormone released by the placenta right after the embryo begins implanting into the uterine lining. The hormone is released in a pregnant woman's urine."
Also:
"Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta)."
By the way:
The person who posted this:
"Pregnancy tests searches for the hormone that is released during pregnancy. Your body gives the signal that ovulation is about to occur when there is an increase in the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine."
I think they are confused. The LH occurs when you are ovulating and ovulation tests, not pregnancy tests, detect this. If you are talking about pregnancy tests, they detect hCG, not LH.
there's this pregnancy kit to test whether youre pregnant or not depends on waht will show up.. either positive nor negative.. of course if its positive, youre pregnant..
and i guess, birth control pills doesnt make you think that youre pregnant.. its not the medicine that will make you think that way, its you yourself who thinks of it..
Well, I am on the pill, and took a test this moening and it came up negetive, so no to answer your question
Pregnancy tests searches for the hormone that is released during pregnancy. Your body gives the signal that ovulation is about to occur when there is an increase in the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. Birth control doesn't contain this hormone so if the test says your pregnant, you are pregnant and should stop taking the pill.
A pregnancy test will be as accurate if you are on the pill as when you are not. The main way the BC pill works, is by suppressing ovulation.
When you are pregnant, various chemicals are released. These chemicals are present in your urine, and a pregnancy test works by determining their presence or absence.
Being on the pill does not affect the levels of these chemicals, so the test will be as accurate as it normally would be.
Hope I helped!
