Pregnancy and the pill

Suppose you are on the pill...but you think you are pregnant...if you take a home pregnancy test, will it give a false reading because you are on the pill???

The pregnancy hormone HCG which is what pregnancy kits test for will not be masked by hormonal contraceptives. If you have been taking your pills correctly they are very effective (98-99%) so you are probably quite safe. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
