The only medications that can display a false positive test result are those that contain the pregnancy hormone hCG, such as most medications used to treat infertility. Medications that contain hCG, or are used in combination with hCG, include, but are not limited to, Humegon, Pregnyl, Profasi, Pergonal, and Novarel. These may give false positive results if the pregnancy test is performed within 7-14 days of the last drug administration. Antibiotics, analgesics or pain killers, birth control pills, and hormone therapies that contain Clomid or Serophen (clomiphene citrate) should not affect the test result.
Although itâs rare, a false positive pregnancy test result can happen. For some women, this result can be disappointing, especially if they were hoping to become pregnant.

Most over-the-counter pregnancy tests measure the levels of hCG in a womanâs urine.
