Can taking the thyroid hormone Levothyroxine cause a pregnancy test to come back false negative?


Can taking the thyroid hormone Levothyroxine cause a pregnancy test to come back false negative?

No. Pregnancy tests check for human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG, in the urine. HCG is only produced by a placenta, which is why you get a positive result when you are pregnant. Levothyroxine can't mask it, nor can any other medication.
