TTC and BFP and Provera 10mg tablets?

Question

Hello all. After TTC for 2 years, hubby and i were finally getting assistance from the doctor. He prescribed Provera tablets to induce a period. Which i took from Monday the 28th of July until Sunday the 3rd of August. I took a Hpt on the Monday to check if i was pregnant, and another on Wed the 30th, and both were negative.

It's been 12 days since my last provera tablet, and i still don't have my period, so I took a pregnancy test this morning. The positive line came up immediately, and there's no question that it's there.

My question is, can the provera tablet cause a false positive? I have looked up lots of stuff, and it all points to no, but as you other TTCers can imagine, it's hard to just sit on my hands and wait til i can call the doctor on Monday. I need to know people!!!

Please help! Tell me everything you know about Hpt, BFP and provera tablets! (Not Depoprovera, this is not a contraceptive version of the drug that i'm talking about).

I have been having sore b***s a bit lately, but after TTC for 2yrs, i just ignored it. "Don't be a silly cow, you're not pregnant!"

Eeeep! Fingers crossed, and help!

Thank you all :D

Answer 1

I have a question. Did you take any clomid or any fertility type drug to get pregnant? If so, that can cause a false positive. I just had one because of clomid. I was so mad.

Ok, since you have not had any fertility drugs. I will say you are pregnant. I am not a doc though and I don't want to get  your hopes up. I have read on here that one lady took provera because her doc said she wasn't pregnant and she  then when no pd showed, she made them do an ultrasound and found out she was pregnant. I know it is hard to wait, but do another hpt in the morning. Get either the clear blue digital or the first response. I hope you are pregnant. You could go to the ER and have them do a blood test.

As far as I know the provera can not cause a false positve.  It only makes you ovulate. Good luck to you and update us when you find out.
