A member asked:

Can diet pills or fat burners effect pregnancy tests?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only, possibly, one: If you are on the HCG diet, receiving injections or supplements of hcg, you could get a false positive pregnancy test, since that is the hormone the pregnancy tests looks for in your blood or urine. Otherwise, no.
