A member asked:

What can make birth control positive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Hormones: I'm assuming you mean a pregnancy test. This test becomes positive once a hormone called human Chorionic Gonadotropin rises, which is made during any pregnancy, whether normal or abnormal.
