pregnant?
Went to Doctor on Wednesday. I've been lactating and suspect pregnancy but maybe not. Dr. put me on HCTZ for fluid retention cause I've gained 20 lbs since January and also did lab work to see if pregnant and check my hormones to see if I'm not pregnant why I would be lactating. Got a call Friday- she said I'm pregnant- stop taking HCTZ. I had already made an appointment with my other Dr. to have a quantative hcg blood test and forgot to tell them that I had taken the HCTZ that morning. They called that evening to let me know that I'm not pregnant. Could the HCTZ in my system have caused the 2nd blood test to come back negative?
Definately not. HCG is the best way to test for pregnancy as you will not produce it unless you are pregnant. Do a home pregnancy test and double check, then see your doctor as one is right and one is wrong!
no, even on the instructions for a home test it says the only things that can cause a not pregnant. im on strong doses of medications and been through hormone medications and lots of different birth controls at the same time last year. i still got pregnant and no test they did or that i took came back negative
