Question : I need to get a pregnancy test done (I doubt that I am) but I have also developed a UTI and am getting a UTI test getting done. Is it possible for my pregnancy reports to show up on the UTI test by any chance?

Brief Answer:
No, both the tests are different. Pregnancy reports don't show on UTI tests

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The following are few facts to be observed:
1) Urine pregnancy test measures beta HCG hormone which is increased during pregnancy.
2) UTI test can't reveal pregnancy in any way. Both ate totally different.
3) Important thing is, though you have urinary infection, it doesn't affect your pregnancy test.
4) You can do urine pregnancy test by getting a kit at home. The result is not in any way affected by the presence of urinary infection.
So your pregnancy reports don't show up on the UTI test by any chance.

Hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you. Take care.

Regards
