Can any medication or medical condition affect ovulation test results?

Certain medical conditions and medications can adversely affect the performance of the test: for example if you are actually pregnant, have recently been pregnant, have reached menopause or have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) you may get a misleading result. This may also be true if you are taking fertility drugs containing Luteinizing Hormone or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin. Clomiphene citrate (Clomid®) does not affect the tests, but may affect the length of your cycle and, therefore, when you should be testing.

  • I took the ovulation test and tested positive two days in a row. On day 2, I took a pregnancy test out of curiosity and also tested positive. Why are both tests showing positive results?
