Can plan b cause false positive pregnancy test?
I took Plan B recently, and now my home pregnancy test came back positive. I'm really confused and stressed. Can taking Plan B cause a false positive result on a pregnancy test?

Plan B doesn't have the hCG hormone, so it won't affect the test accuracy. If you're getting a positive result, it is real. Focus on eating clean, staying hydrated, and booking a doctor's appointment to understand your next steps.

No, Plan B cannot cause a false positive. It contains levonorgestrel, which is progesterone, whereas pregnancy tests only look for the hCG hormone. If you got a positive test, it means you are likely pregnant and should see a gynecologist.

A false positive is highly unlikely because the pill doesn't interfere with the pregnancy hormone. Keep up your active lifestyle with light walks, but if the test is positive, your first step should definitely be consulting your doctor.

Actually yaar, Plan B has zero effect on the test results because it doesn't have hCG. If the line is positive, you are probably pregnant. Better to visit a doc and get a proper blood test done to be 100% sure.
