default
Posted on Tue, 25 Aug 2015
Question: Hi had taken gestofit 200 mg and after around 4 hours I had used home pregnancy test kit for which result was positive.
And after 3 hours again use the home pregnancy test kit but result was negative?
Please let me know whether the positive result was the reason of gestofit.

How many chances are there that though upt was positive but XXXXXXX comes negative.
I was taking Gestofit and ossure forte and the mentone syrup
Is there any chances of chemical pregnancy....

Brief Answer:
It can be due to chemical pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
I have gone through your history and there are four reasons of false positive results in a home urine pregnancy test.
-chemical pregnancy, inaccurate test,evaporation line and drugs which affect test results.
Gastofit is a progesterone and it will not affect pregnancy test result.
To confirm the results you should go for beta hcg testing and ultrasound scan.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
