My friend has missed her period, and has taken 2 test and both negative but she also has a UTI……Is there anyway that the UTI is messing with the Test Results.

Having a UTI will not effect the outcome of a pregnancy test, but could be the reason your friend has not had her period yet. Have her wait a week after finishing the antibiotics if still no period and pregnancy test is still negative she should give her dr a call, as there might be a different underlying issue.

No. A urinary tract infection does not have any impact on the results of a pregnancy test.

The pregnancy test is testing for the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadtropin (or HCG) in your urine. HCG is only present when you are pregnant so if the test result is positive you are pregnant.

Please see your doctor as soon as possible.

i have been haveing sharp pain in my lower abdomen and left side but the doctor told me i have a urinary tract infection and i have a blood pregnancy test done and it was negative. is it possible for me to still be pregnant?

I agree with Mistee. Serum (from blood) is a very reliable test for pregnancy but nothing else. if you suspect a UTI you need a urine test!

There is no connection between being pregnant and a UTI, other than potential health risks for you and the baby. I'm not sure why your doctor would tell you that you have a UTI and then order a serum test. I think you are either not reporting all the facts or you have misunderstood what s/he has done.

I have a Urinary tract infection, and im late on my period and have all the signs of pregnancy, but all the tests are negative, could the infection cause the pregnancy test to be negative?

Yes. It can affect the test whether it reads positive or negative.

Ask the doctor to check for pregnancy when you go to the doctor for the infection. He will be able to tell from his test.

It's probably not diabetes.
