pregnacy tests detect hcg. birth control pills do not contain hcg so the test will not be adversely affected. if you are experiencing signs or symptoms of pregnancy repeating the home test. or asking your medical provider to order a more sensitive blood pregnancy test would be an option. of course you can be examined at any point but early signs of pregnancy may not be obvious on a physical examination.
can taking birth control affect the results of a pregnancy test? . i've been on birth control since sept 2011. i think i'm pregnant but my home pregnancy test came back negative. i am still experiencing pregnancy like symptoms but i don't know if i should try another pregnancy test or if i should just go to the doctor.
