I have been taking a generic brand of Zyrtech for one week. Yesterday I got a positive pregnancy test. It's been about 4 weeks since my last period. (I think) My question is could this cause me to have a false negative? What I am taking is called Cetirizine HCI 10 mg antihistamine.

I thought maybe it was a mistake so I took like 6 more pregnancy tests and they are all positive. Please help!

I meant to ask could this give me a FALSE POSITIVE. Sorry.

I would say that if the positive results came up in the time limit that the instructions say then with six positive pregnancy test that you're more than likely pregnant, home tests are pretty accurate. Hope that helped.

the only medications that will affect a pregnancy test are fertility drugs like clomid. zyrtec or generic brands will NOT affect tests so i do believe you're pregnant!
