Does Taking Clomiphene Citrate Cause False Positive Pregnancy Test Results?

i had a safe and protected intercourse. but my period date has passed. and i did the pregnancy test at home with the kit and it turned positive. i also have PCOD. and have been taking clomiphene citrate tablets. could there be chances that the test results are false positive? and i have the regestrone tablets that were prescribed for forced period. would it be safe to have those for abortion?

Hello,

Clomiphene citrate does not cause false positive test. Sometime pregnancy test give false positive result as it is not very sensitive and specific test. Rigestrone contain progesterone and will help you to regularize period due to hormonal imbalance caused by PCOD. Rogesterone does not cause abortion.

For abortion, abortion pill containing mifepristone and misoprostol is safe and effective. It should be used after confirming intrauterine pregnancy by USG scan. I would suggest to go for blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy as it is more accurate test. But if you had protected sex then pregnancy is not possible. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
