the pill & pregnancy tests
| Thu, 05-18-2006 - 7:14pm |
Hey there,
Just wondering if anyone knows if being on the pill will affect the results of a pregnancy test? I know that the pill, in a way, "tricks" your body into thinking it's pregnant, so I don't know if that will affect the results of a test.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi again belmontblonde. Welcome back!

The reason people say that the pill tricks your body into thinking that it is pregnant is because the pill provides a consistent dose of progestin that mimics the higher levels of progesterone produced during pregnancy.
