A member asked:

What does it mean when your hormones are slighlty high with a positive pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormones: I think it depends on which hormones you are referring to as being high. Is your beta hcg higher than expected? If this is the case then maybe you are further along than first thought. The expectation is for the hcg to rise, in fact double every 2 days.

Can Xanax (alprazolam) give a false positive on a pregnancy test? I read it can cause a rise in the pregnancy hormone levels and show a false positive result.
