Are all home pregnancy tests the same at detecting pregnancy?

Yes and no. All home pregnancy tests are decting the same hormone, HCG, a hormone that is produced by the developing placenta. However, all home pregnancy tests do not detect HCG at the same levels. So some brands may show positive results sooner than others.


Can a home kit drug test be combined with a pregnancy test?

You mean, a drug test that has both drug screening and pregnancy testing capabilities? Sure it could, but no one's making a test like that. OTOH, it's no problem to test the same sample for both drugs (dip stick home kit) and pregnancy (EPT test, something like that). I think the reason they don't make a combination test is it's so easy to get pregnancy tests, no one would pay the upcharge for the pregnancy strip on the drug test.

If your pregnant will it show up in a drug screen?

No. Pregnancy tests measure the amount of a specific hormone (HCG) that is produced by the embryo once fertilization takes place. Drug tests do not test for this hormone. Also, you CAN get a false negative pregnancy test but almost NEVER a false positive. HCG only exists when there is an embryo maufacturing it.
