I just took a pregnancy test and it came up positive immediately. Can birth control or illness make it false?

I've been sick...which I thought was the stomach flu...until it continued for about a week. I know I probably am...but can birth control (Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo) or having a stomach virus, etc. cause a false test result?I just took a pregnancy test and it came up positive immediately. Can birth control or illness make it false?
No, you are most definitely pregnant. I went through the same thing when I first found out...thought I had the flu...took a test a few days later and it came up positive almost immediately. My ';flu'; still hasn't gone away. Anyway, sounds to me like you're pregnant. Go get it confirmed by your doctor and start prenatals. Congratulations!I just took a pregnancy test and it came up positive immediately. Can birth control or illness make it false?
hi, no a positive is a positive test. congrats, your going to be a mummy. i was sick for a week, so i thought i had a flu and so i spent the first 2 days in bed, i then found out 2 weeks later i was pregnant with my first child. good luck and now you need a blood test
No birth control cannot give you a false positive! You can always get a blood test done though if you want more confirmation. Trust me I know that little positive line is hard to believe at first!!! Congrats..........Your pregnant! Good Luck.
Humm, your probably pregnant. There is no false positive. You have Hcg levels in your body so there is a baby in there.
No, it measures the presence of a hormone only there in pregnant women. You are likely pregnant.
nope...only fertility drugs or ovarian cysts can effect it...but ur preg congrats n good luck!
NO
nope. Didn't make it false for me.


congrats on the great news
no they can not, your preggo. congrats

  • Does horsepower in a car control how fast it goes?

    As for both top speed and acceleration, yes. Lower horsepower means slower acceleration and a slower top speed.Does horsepower in a car control how fast it goes?
    The more horsepower the faster %26amp; stronger the engine is, so the answer to your question is Yes.Does horsepower in a car control how fast it goes?
    Horsepower is basically a unit of energy an engine outputs. Most of it is used to power the wheels, but speed also depends on the aerodynamics of the car, the weight of the car and lots of other factors.
    YES
    No, big shiny 20'; wheels control how fast it goes.
    its proportional to the speed.





    Torque is ultimately responsible
    No, the paint job and amount of chrome it has on it does.
    yes and no 2 cars with all other things equal hp with have a higher top end but take this in 2 cars are the same except for the hp say one has 50 hp more and the rear axles gears the +50hp is 3.89 and the reg engine has 3.06 the +50hp will take off faster and ge to the limit of its speed and the reg engine will catch and pass it because of the taller gears top speed is controled by several factors a weird example would be a nhra 8000hp dragster vs an indy 750hp car the dragster goes 334mph in 1320 ft and then blows up because it cant maintain that speed the indy car goes 232mph for over 500mi the same motor in the indy car has been used at bonniville salt flats and gone over 400mph. hope this makes sense to you and helps
    Theres a lot things that factor in..


    1st off lets think about ';horsepower'; it's just a math figure from torque.. Torque does the work.. horsepower = torque x rpm / 5252





    The look at weight.. Lower weight can be moved with less torque.. So lower weight and higher torque = faster.





    Then aero of the car. A corvette will have less aero/wind drag than a full size pickup truck.. Any car with same torque, weight, but less aero drag will have a higher top speed than same weight/torque car with higher drag..





    Then you get into gearing.. transmission and rear end gear ratios.. Lower (higher number) gear ratios will have a faster rate of accel, but less top speed

    Why is it advantageous for the cell to possess 2 control mechanisms: enzyme inhibition and repression?

    Enzymes are regulated mainly by repression and feedback inhibition. what is the advantageous of having 2 controls?Why is it advantageous for the cell to possess 2 control mechanisms: enzyme inhibition and repression?
    Feedback inhibition allows the enzyme to be controlled by what is happening at a later stage in the pathway. If there is too much product being produced then the enzyme at an earlier part of the pathway needs to be switched off and this is done by the actual product at a later stage in the pathway coming back and stopping enzyme activity.





    Enzyme inhibition by something other than a product in the pathway allows control of the enzyme whether or not product is being produced.





    Having these 2 controls allows the level of substrate and product to be involved in the activity of the enzyme and not just the inhibition system.

    On the Ford Taurus 1998 where is the heater control valve located? What does it look like? Thank you?

    The previous post is right on the money. Good advice. All I can add is to make sure the cooling system is not low. This time of year a low coolant situation may only show up as a lack of heat because without the coolant, the temp sensor cannot register accurately but will usually show too cool. Good luck!On the Ford Taurus 1998 where is the heater control valve located? What does it look like? Thank you?
    That model does not use a heater control valve. There is coolant flowing through the heater core at all times on that vehicle. If you have no heat, check and see if the heater hoses are hot. If they are, then the blend door actuator has likely failed. It is an electric motor that positions the blend door according to the temp switch position, and are common to fail in that year car. It is on the front of the heater case, at the top left of the heater core access cover. The dash must come back about a foot to get to it on the passenger side.

    In the new facebook, is it possible for me to control my visibility?

    I can't find the setting for remaining invisible when I'm online....In the new facebook, is it possible for me to control my visibility?
    yeah, at the very bottom right of


    your computer screen you'll see a button for


    your visbility and to see who's online.


    its really simple :]In the new facebook, is it possible for me to control my visibility?
    Im not sure about this, but i have been a facebook user for a while now i dont think that there is a way that you can go invisible online.
    why do u want to be anonymous when facebook is a social site for networking? well just choose the setting of ur profile page and learn to be discreet with your friends cause ur profile will always show with them.
    go to open facebook chat and then click on go offline

    yeah but to hard to xplain



    yes, hit settings
    idk try myspace!!!
    no

    How long does it take to get preagnent after getting off birth control pills? (espically Ortho-Tri?

    I'm ready to have a baby, but not with/in the next 6 mons.How long does it take to get preagnent after getting off birth control pills? (espically Ortho-Tri?
    It's possible to get pregnant right away, but for some people it takes months for their cycle to regulate, making it more difficult to get pregnant because they're ovulating every 60 days rather than 30 (for example). Great idea to get off bc in advance to let your body 'air out', but you'll want to use condoms in the mean time. Good luck! P.S. In 2004 I got off the pill in July and had very irregular periods even until January. We started trying in January though and did get pregnant on our first try after 5 months of using condoms.How long does it take to get preagnent after getting off birth control pills? (espically Ortho-Tri?
    Hey no joke i was gonna stop taking Or tho-Tri on December 31, 07!! I git pregnant December 23, 2007!! So i was still on the pill when it happen!! They said you are supposed to wait 3 months to let your uterus build up!! But they say if it happens it happens!! So either way it could happen!! I will say this i am on my first and i am so Glad it happen!! It kicks and moves the feeling are just amazing!!! I can not wait till She is here!! I just found out we are having a Girl!! Wait till you get pregnant!! I was on the birth control pill for 10 years!!!
    it took my cousin the following month..i never took it but this is what happen to her. and the reason i say the next month is because she had already had a period for that first month and stop taking them the next and then got pregant....i heard it makes u really fertile....baby dust
    well, its possible to get pregnant right away because thats when your body is the most fertile. If you are not ready for a few more months make sure that you where protection or family planning method, which doesn't always work.

    I gasp throughout the day, for no reas like a startled gasp & I cant control it. Does anyone know what this is

    I probably gasp about 50 times per day and its worse when I go to bed, I also have uncontrolable leg movements like twitching or a jerk when I go to bed, people at my work have started noticing my gasping, and I cant explain it. Suffering with this for aprox 4 weeks. Any answers would be helpful.I gasp throughout the day, for no reas like a startled gasp %26amp; I cant control it. Does anyone know what this is
    Hi Sharon,


    It seems like a nervous disorder, nothing drastic, but obviously go to your GP in the first place.


    However, for what it is worth, I used to do that gasping thing before playing in front of a live audience, and could not sing a note.Terrible. It was nerves.


    Perhaps you are a tad nervous in your job ?


    I was prescribed a mild relaxing thing, for a few weeks, and it worked wonders.


    I can now stand up in front of a crowd, and do my best to belt a tune out.


    It was all in my mind.


    No more gasping for a breath, or using the loo every half hour.


    Anxiety about something can do that as well.


    No drugs, apart from a few beers !


    Have a word with your GP, though, as these matters can go from dodgy to worse.


    All the Best,


    Bob the BoatI gasp throughout the day, for no reas like a startled gasp %26amp; I cant control it. Does anyone know what this is
    I would go to your doc.
    You are not having multiple orgasms are you.You Lucky devil you.
    Explain to co-workers they aren't gasps but sighs, you have been unlucky in love recently. You will probably get the sack for day dreaming.................
    Restless leg syndrome? I'd recommend seeing a doctor about it, though
    it may be panic attacks, some of your symptoms sound familiar to me but i don't want to say too much about panic attacks though incase I'm wrong, and I'm not a doctor, but a check with your GP may be beneficial. I'd advise that over anything. hope all is well.
    If its so persistent you need to get yourself straight to the docs hun. Hope you feel better soon.
