Will drinking coffee effect a pregnancy test?

Answer 1

I highly doubt it...There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines or a chemical pregnancy.

To ensure the best results:

• Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest
• Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results
• Take the test no more than 1-2 days before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low.
• urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip
• wait for the results!
