yes it affect bu afulse positive result
Can dehydration give a negative pregnancy test result?
No, concentration of hormones and other chemicals filtered from the blood in urine would actually increase with less urine volume. Pregnancy tests look for specific hormones in your urine. It's not likely that dehydration could cause this unless it was a sign of another health problem that was interfering with your pregnancy.
Why do you have to give a urine sample when seeing your obgyn or pregnancy DR?
Urine shows levels of pregnancy hormones and also whether a woman is spilling glucose into the urine and if she has a urinary tract infection.
Can certain illnesses give you a positive pregnancy test result if you aren't pregnant?
I am assuming you are referring to a urine pregnancy test which tests for Beta hCG. There are also blood tests, which are more specific, for pregnancy. The urine beta hCG test may be positive for other reasons than pregnancy. Certain cancers of the testicles and the ovary are diseases that can provide a positive pregnancy test. Also, a lot of blood or protein in the urine can give a false positive on a pregnancy test. There are also some medications that have been reported to cause false positives such as some anti-convulsants and anti-parkinson medications. Overall, though, the urine pregnancy test is very accurate. Any female who tests positive on a urine pregnancy test should arrange for an appointment to see a physician for follow-up.

How do you solve delayed menstruation?
You have to do the urine pregnancy test. You can give progesterone tablets to get the withdrawal bleeding, once you rule out the pregnancy.
Are you pregnant if a home pregnancy test came back positive and a laboratory urine test was inconclusive and why would they be different?
Hello there. Yes you may very well be pregnant. A pregnancy test will only turn positive once HCG has been found in your urine. BUT there needs to be ENOUGH HCG in your urine to make a positive test result. Depending on the pregnancy test, they usually look for 5MIU - 50MIU. If you had 49MIU of HCG in your urine and did a test that looks for 50MIU it would be negative. The same thing applies to the Labatory urine pregnancy test. When they did the test you probably didn't have enough HCG in your urine to give you a positive. You need to have a blood test. Urine tests are NOT reliable and give negative results when women are indeed pregnant. See your doctor for a Quantitative Beta HCG pregnancy test. Good luck.

Why would a pregnancy test not give you either answer?
A pregnancy test can only give you "a negative result" (probably not pregnant) or "a positive result" which indicates the likelihood of pregnancy. Only a blood test or physical examination can confirm a positive result (definitely pregnant). There are some conditions which have pregnancy symptoms, and very rare conditions under which pregnancy is not immediately detectable after fetal development begins.
How early will a blood test for pregnancy work?
Pregnancy tests work by analysing the amount of pregnancy hormone present in your body. Generally, a urine pregnancy test is less accurate for two reasons: a) the hormone is being detected through urine, which can alter moreso than blood, depending on how much water you drink and whether or not you use first morning urine (first morning urine is better for pregnancy tests). b) the pregnancy test itself isn't as detailed and reliable as an analysed blood test. The moment the sperm fertilises the egg, the hormone pregnancy starts circulating in your blood. A blood pregnancy test ought to give clear results within a couple of days. Your GP may want to take more bloods a week or so afterwards to verify the result.
Why might a first morning specimen be ordered?
HcG ( Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is the hormone that urine pregnancy tests check for. Because urine is most concentrated (with this hormone among other elements) HcG is most easily measured in the morning. It tends to give the most accurate result. Hope this helps!
