Does Nmp Tablet Interfere With Pregnancy Test Result?
Question: I am 29, and had missed abortion last year. Since January 2014 i was on regestron to induce periods as my prolactine levels were a bit high. I have gone through follicular study and had successful ovulation. Following are the details:
LMP= 24/06/2014 ; T Clomipure 50= From 3rd to 7th day of period; Cycle Day 8= follicular study started
On Day 15, I got an Hcg Injection 10000 1 n, for egg rupture. Egg ruptured on Day 16. Had intercourse on Day 15 and 16. Started Her-Nmp 200mg , virginal use for next 15 days.
Now after one month, 26/07/2014, i had visited doctor and had pregnancy test. I drank two glasses of water right before collecting the urine. She didn't know that. and I didn't tell her. (As i was unaware that it matters.). Urine pregnancy test came negative. She asked me to stop Her -Nmp tablets, and said period will come after 4-5 days. If it doesn't we will have another pregnancy test.
I testes again at home my friend told me that drinking water can affect the results. After two hours from the previous test , i again did the home pregnancy test. It came positive with a faint line. (It was much darker, still faint than it is appearing in the attached image)
My question is: Can it be false negative due to Her Nmp tablets. If it is positive should I continue with the tablets and start follic acid. How stopping Her Nmp Tablets and not starting follicacid tablets for next five days can affect the pregnancy?

Brief Answer:
Serum beta hCG blood test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Drinking water does not affect urine pregnancy test. And Her NMP doesn't interfere with Pregnancy tests.
The fact that second test shown positive result, it is likely that you are pregnant.
Most accurate way of predicting will be to get " Serum beta hCG blood test" done which will immediately confirm pregnancy and clear confusion.
Meanwhile continue Nmp as well as folic acid tablets which are important. Dont stop them. Decision to stop tablets can onle be taken after getting beta hCG report.
Please get blood test done at earliest and let me know report soon.
