Pregnancy Test & Birth Control?

Question

I heard that an otc pregnancy test isnt accurate when you're on the pill because of all the extra hormones. is that true?

Answer 1

You can get accurate results from a pregnancy test while you're on the pill. Pregnancy tests work by measuring a specific pregnancy-related hormone — human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) — in your blood or urine. The active ingredients in birth control pills don't affect how a pregnancy test measures the level of HCG in your system.
