Go get a blood test done and suboxone has been proven to cause no damage to a baby while in utero; however, withdrawal can pose a threat if it is being took on a regular basis. Most doctors will slowly decrease the dose. When baby is born they will monitor it for any withdrawals. If baby shows distress they will give it medicine until it is no longer showing signs of withdrawal symptoms. A lot of pregnant women prescribed suboxone before pregnancy will continue to take it because doctors advise them to. This is because the medicine is proven safe and it keeps pregnant women from going out and doing far more dangerous drugs. They used to use methadone for pregnant women who previously had addiction problems, but they have discovered that suboxone is a better option. This is because it is less potent and if a baby does withdrawal after birth it isn't as harsh. Just know that taking this illegally without a script while pregnant will probably result in cps being called especially if your baby shows signs of withdrawal. So,if you are pregnant quit taking it before your child becomes addicted to it and you have no choice but to continue to take it or tamper down very slowly. Because it can be very dangerous to stop a drug once addiction sets in and can result in the loss of pregnancy. That's pretty much all the info I have! Hope it helps

Hi. I do not have an answer but more of a question to the people on this thread. I know it’s been years but this is all I could find while trying to research suboxone and false negative pregnancy tests. I started suboxone in early December. My last period was December 30 today it is February 12. I have all the signs and symptoms. I’ve been pregnant before so I have an idea. My female dog is acting so crazy protective of me it’s strange, I saw someone else post that. Pretty crazy. I have yet to see the answer that this has happened to someone and they were indeed pregnant. Someone please respond with an answer.

I have been taking suboxones for 2 1/2 years i got my period on sept. 26th 2012 it was a regular period. my husband and i had sex on oct 6th and i got my period again on oct. 16th for 3 days maybe 4. it was the worst period ever. my husband and i had sex on oct 24th maybe 25th and im wondering if im pregnant. i took a pregnancy test on oct 23-25th and they all turned out negative. im waiting to see if ill get my period on nov 16-18th because i didnt get my period at my usual time which would be oct 26-28th would be the start of my period. now im gonna wait until nov 16-18th to see if i get my period. i have been feeling like im pregnant. or it could be a sign that ill be getting my period soon i keep feeling weird mild pain on my left side of my pelvic area or whatever, some people say it could be implantation blood that i got when i got my period for 3-4 days and some say it could be from stress. as for the weird feeling in my left pelvic area either the implantation has happen on that side or an egg is travelling through waiting for sperm, but i calculated and i wouldnt be ovulating at this time so im a little confused PLEASE HELP. im on suboxone and klonopins. could that cause a pregnancy test to come out false. Im always tired but it could be from my meds. my breasts were sore for maybe 3 days after the 25th of oct. and i have been gaining weight like crazy but ive always had cravings, but ive never gained this much weight that fast. from the 23rd of oct til now which is nov. 6th i have probably gained 5-8 pounds. i havent had any weird vivid dreams sometimes i can pass out and sometimes ill stay up. my dog ive had for 7 years who is a female is also acting weird around me as well now. I am also going through alot of stressful stuff but literally this morning my stress level went down, but im constantly thinking that im pregnant. i want to be but at the same time i dont think i can because my husband and i tried for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant and i never did, and then we decided to have random sex and wasnt thinking about getting pregnant and decided we should wait and now i think i might. when i have gotten pregnant previously when i was 18 and my body was still maturing the only thing i noticed was my boobs growing about after 5 weeks and started feeling sore but i thought my period was coming, and i had an abortion, and the second time was when i was 23 maybe 24 and i got pregnant literally the next day i was finished with my period and the guy didnt finish so i got pregnant from his pre ejac and the sex was literally for a few seconds because we were in an awkward pl. and i got an abortion because i was not at a stable place at that time. and now i just turned 28 so im so confused. PLEASE HELP!!

The only things that affect pregnancy tests are medications that contain the pregnancy hormone in which case you would be getting potentially false positives

I'm not sure but you should see a doctor for a blood test because suboxone isn't safe in pregnancy its unsure what effects it has on an unborn child
