Started With Loestrin Pills After Removing Mirena. Have Fatigue, Cravings And Weight Gain. Pregnancy Test Report Negative
Started Lo Loestrin pill in January 2013 after getting the Mirena taken out. missed both my periods since being on this pill && have been having the same early pregnancy symptoms as my first child. Extremely fatigued, uncontrollable weight gain, cravings & UTI. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests spread out over 2 months & all came back negative. Is it possible for this pill to provide a false positive on a pregnancy test?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you took the pill as per the schedule there is less possibility for pregnancy.
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to the side effects of the pills.
Usually the pills may not affect the results of the pregnancy test. Anyhow better to go for blood test for pregnancy which will give more accurate result.
If the test comes negative, you can come to one conclusion that the symptoms are due to pill.
Take care.
