Hi,
Welcome back.
It is not related to levothyroxine that you are taking.
The false positive test could also be due to heterophilic antibodies which react with test antibodies. Usually these are produced in persons working closely with animals.
Please do a urine pregnancy test and let me know the result.

Hi
I expected urine pregnancy test to be negative.
Certain bacterial/ viral infections, treatment with immunoglobulins and blood transfusions very rarely can cause heterophile antibodies.
You need not get stressed about it.
I hope the answer is helpful.
