Can the positive pregnancy test result be due to capsules?
Patient: Hello. I been taking the hcg activator capsules for 11 days. (2 in the morning and 2 around lunch). My period has been late this month for 7 days. I just took a pregnancy test and it came out positive.... Can it be due to the capsules? And also at this point if I were pregnant could those capsules have harmed the baby? Thank you. Doctor: Hi,HCG activator capsule dose not  cause positive pregnancy test. Your delayed period by 7 days and positive pregnancy test suggest pregnancy. These tablet does not affect the baby. I would suggest go for blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy as it is more sensitive and specific than urine pregnancy test. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.Best regards,Dr. Sagar
