Hi,
Is there any risk to accuracy of pregnancy urine tests whilst peri-menopausal and on HRT?

Do the HCG levels that fluctuate re menopausal stage affect the results?

Do the HCG fluctuations possibly affect a false positive?

Is a negative test definitely negative?

Thank you all :-)

Is this a WHOOPS moment 

    I would ring the pharmacist and ask the question - then let us know.  It is suggested that we shouldn't have unprotected  sex until we have been at least 12 months without a period. 

Also, how old might you be ? 

Browse round.  Hopefully some1 will be along.

Age 53

Pharmacist said if you have tested twice and both tests were negative - the timeframe is key.

The first test was after recommended 21 days if no regular period. This was 22 days after unprot-sex and the second test was 42 days after, then as it is over 5-6 weeks since unprot-sex then unlikely to be pregnant.
