Q: Pregnant Or Not?
asked by: SaintLouyWoman on May 23rd, 2007
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
Hello, I'm a new user. I wanted to see if anyone was on Orthocyclen. I am on this medication for PCOS treatment, and have heard that there is an hcg hormone in it, so it interferes with pregnancy tests. Is this true? Because if so I may be royally screwed. Confused

I think that the Orthotricyclen is the most common. But I believe that orthocyclen is a birth control as well. If so, it will not interfere with a pregnancy test.

Have you taken a test?

There is no hcg hormone in birth control. It would be unlikely to get pregnant on birth control. If you think you are pregnant, or have tested positive, please go see your doctor.

Good luck.

Yeah, I took a test and it was negative, but I'm having weird symptoms-ones I thought were related to the medication, but my gynecologist says no. She might be a quack though. I'm probably not, but its a scary thought. Especially at my age.

Birth control pills will not affect the results of pregnancy tests. They can cause you to have some symptoms commonly associated with pregnancy like tender, swollen breasts and nausea and increased appetite.
