Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group

Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...

Can anything interfere with home pregnancy test results?

Most medications, both over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including birth control pills and antibiotics, should not affect the results of a home pregnancy test (such as Profasi, Pregnyl or Novarel). Only those drugs that have the pregnancy hormone hCG in them can give a false positive test result (where the test says you are pregnant when you actually are not). Drugs that have hCG in them can be used for treating infertility (not being able to get pregnant).

Alcohol and illegal drugs do not affect HPT results, but you should not be using these substances if you are trying to get pregnant.
============================
So, from this info, it appears that cocaine would NOT influence the results of a pregnancy test!

No, but it can mess up your unborn baby. I think that if you are pregnant it is time you get some help so you can give your baby a chance at a healthy life. Cocaine has many negative effects on the fetus and many unknown long term effects on a growing child. Time to start thinking about someone other than yourself and stop using. Addiction is very selfish and this is a time where you have to stop thinking of using and thinking about what you can do to have the healthist pregnancy possible. Treatment centers are more likely to make you a priority to get into their program if you are pregnant. Call around and find places near your home. Also please know that if you give birth to a cocaine positive baby you are likely to lose the baby to custody of the state and be mandated into treatment if you want to regain custody. You will have to jump through alot of hoops to prove that you are fit to raise the child and that you are off of and can stay off of drugs. Best of luck to you.

I recommend you contact an agency that focuses on pregnancy and drug use. They will advocate for you and likely help you get some help quickly. Good Luck!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
