Can drinking apple cider vinegar diluted in water cause a false negative pregnan!


Question: Can drinking apple cider vinegar diluted in water cause a false negative pregnancy test?
I am afraid im pregnant...skipped period and all. I had some diluted apple cider vinegar today and held it for about 3 hours before i took my pregnancy test. It was negative, which is somewhat of a relief, but I just think the test is wrong....last time my breasts were this sore....i was preggo

Answers:

The more important question is: did you have sex? Pregnancy tests are designed to measure one thing and one thing only, HCG. HCG is the hormone that is released when you're pregnant. It is first secreted in your blood and then a few days/weeks later into your urinary system where it can be detected by a urine pregnancy test. Apple Cider vinegar would in no way alter your test results. My guess is that you either took the test incorrectly (make sure you pay attention to how long to dip the stick in urine and how long to wait afterwards), you took a regular pregnancy test instead of an early pregnancy test, which is more sensitive to lower levels of HCG if you are indeed pregnant, or you're not pregnant and just paraniod. Good luck

important......... Did you have sex? buwhahahahaha!!! now the better question is did you swallow :)

vinegar is good for lowering cholesterol(or blood pressure, my uncle was saying it was good for one of those but can't remember which one) so i doubt it



I am not sure how far the truth is, why don't you take the test another day without drinking apple cider vinegar.



ACV wouldn't affect a pregnancy test.
