    Can a UTI or BI effect the results of an HPT?
    I was just curious if this was a possibility? Please don't answer with an opinion. I would prefer someone who has previously spoken to a Dr. About this or is in the medical field. Thank you & blessed be!

    Hi A.Hoppel,

    Neither will effect the results of a pregnancy test. The pregnancy test is picking up hcg, a hormone associated with pregnancy. If there is an ample amount of hcg in the urine, it will show up on the pregnancy test (different test brands will vary in their sensitivity). An infection would not effect the hcg.

    Thank you very much. :) I didn't think it would, but wanted to be positive.
