Can my birth control deter a home pregnancy test?!
Question: My stomach has gotten so big and it looks like I'm about 3 or 4 months pregnanet. I've been taking Ortho Tricyclen for about 4 years and have always been consistant with it. Because I was so big, I took a home pregnancy test. It came out negative but the question was in my mind. Can my birth control prevent a home pregnancy test's accuracy?

No.
Pregnancy tests work by measuring a specific pregnancy-related hormone
