Question 1

can a uti affect a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

No: A UTI will not affect the results of a pregnancy test. The pregnancy test checks for the hormone HCG and a urinary tract infection would have no effect on whether or not your body is producing hcg.

Question 2

two questions. could a yeast infection cause one to urinate more often? and can a uti affect a pregnancy test to come out false?

Accepted Answer

Probably no and no: A yeast infection can cause inflammation of the urethra and certainly make urination more painful.  A UTI can certainly cause you to urinate more frequently because your bladder is irritated and wants to stay as empty as possible.  A UTI has no effect on the accuracy of a pregnancy test.

Question 3

can a uti affect a home pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

: No. UTI per se will not affect the results from a home pregnancy test. If you have any concerns, get a blood test for HCG level.

Question 4

does a uti affect a pregnancy test i recently went to the health department to get a test done and it came back negative she told me i had an uti though i have had a lot of pregnancy symptoms and haven't had a period in 2 months does a uti affect a test?

Accepted Answer

A : A UTI will not affect the results of a pregnancy test. However, there is a chance that the pregnancy test was done too soon or was possibly a false negative. The bottom line is you should have another pregnancy test. You can request a blood test which will be definitive. Also you should begin treatment for the UTI if you have not done so already.

Question 5

Question 8

Question 9

took three pregnancy test and all positive went to the doctor and they said i wasn't but have a uti can i still be pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: This Q was answered once; but, reiterate here. False positive in pregnancy test is possible, but not likely for 3 times in a row unless all the test strips from the same defected batch. So, work with Doc to get UTI treated and have concerning pregnancy checked in one wk with test-strip from different batch. Remember: morning sickness usually starts in 5-6 wks after conception. Ask gyn-doc timely..
