False Positive Pregnancy Test with Birth Control: What to Do

Question
i recently took a pregnancy test and it was positive. ic there any way it could be because i am on the patch?

Answer
HI Erin,

You could be pregnant; you need to go to a doctor and have a blood tests called a quantitative beta HcG done.

Of course there are things that can cause a home test to read positive; if it was exposed to sunlight, if the test was faulty...  I would re-test at home.

You should call  your doctor as soon as possible and discuss this.
good luck...
