After sex and you take a pregnancy test will it mess up the results?

The pregnancy tests the hormones in your urine stream, known as hCG, semen does not affect it. That hormone is produced by your body during pregnancy and is the only thing measured by the test. So no, having sex anytime before taking the pregnancy test will not affect your results or give you a false positive. The only time having sex affects your pregnancy test is when it was weeks ago, unprotected, and fertilized the egg.. making you pregnant.

Will home pregnancy test work and if not right away how long?

It depends. Very early in a pregnancy they can be extremely inaccurate. When I was trying to find out if I was pregnant I took 6 pregnancy tests. 4 of them read negative and the other two read positive. I WAS pregnant. EPT usually seems to be very accurate. I suppose it depends how far along the woman is and which test they use.


Will taking Phentermine give you negative pregnancy test results?

Phentermine may not give a negative pregnancy test but I think Phentermine causes missed periods or the lack of ovulation altogether over time. Some people have said that they become more fertile with phentermine but I have been trying to conceive for over a year and have missed periods and the time between ovulation has gotten longer. I did some research and discovered that many other women have had the same type problem with their cycles.
