Fertility Drugs: There is not much that interferes with a pregnancy test kit, so that's good news. Most prescription and OTC drugs do not affect test results, nor will birth control pills. However, some fertility drugs do contain hCG and can cause a false positive pregnancy test.
Despite a negative test result, itâs very possible that you are pregnant, but the hCG levels are too low for a test to accurately detect it. Another cause of false-negative pregnancy test results is erratic or improper testing techniques. Most test sticks need to be saturated in urine to get accurate results. If you do not leave your test strip in the urine long enough, it could give you false negative or false positive pregnancy test results. Check the date on the pregnancy test before purchasing it. Out-of-date tests will not give you results you can trust. Also remember that certain fertility medications and rare medical conditions may affect the results of pregnancy tests, and false negatives could be more common in these situations.
