Can birth control make a prego test positive

It won’t make a test positive.But there is still a chance you can get pregnant on birth control so be careful :)

Sika is right. A pregnancy test will be positive if hCG is detected in the urine - the hCG will only be present if you are pregnant (or it could be a tumor in the uterus- but thats a different story!) If your pregnancy test shows up positive and you’re on birth control, it means you weren’t consistent with taking the pills every day at the same time..

From the very beginning of your pregnancy, the fetus produces a hormone called hCG, or, human Chorionic Gondotrophin. This hormone is present in your urine if you are pregnant and increases as your pregnancy progresses, peaking at around 8-11 weeks. This is what a home pregnancy test is testing for in your urine.

So no, hormonal birth control options will not cause a positive home pregnancy test. If you got a positive you need to quit taking your hormonal birth control and see a doctor asap.

I highly doubt it - false positives are rare.

Thank you for the answers.
