Can Urinary Tract Infection Result In A False Positive Pregnancy Test?
So I've taken at least 5 at home pregnancy test. They all came out positive, then I went to the hospital to confirm it and their test came back positive as well. Then they tested for any infection in my pee and I have a uti, can that affect you to get a false positive pregnancy test

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, conception or the pregnancy and the urinary tract infection is pretty common condition and infection does not cause any ill effects on pregnancy unless it is severe one and very bad, one more thing if you do not have any symptoms and little WBC found in urine then it may not be Urinary tract infection, ideally organism has to be found out in urine and for that you will have to go for urine culture sensitivity test. hope this information helps.
