Can water pills alter a pregnancy test? i took a water pill the day i took a prg. test , came out neg.. is it really neg.?

Diuretics and test: Some diuretics can cause a false positive pregnancy test. The fact your test is negative, is not due to the diuretic you are on, so you are probably not pregnant.
