hi i am taking fluoxitine and i am 5 days late for my period.the test showed negative however could this medication affect the results? with my first pregnancy the results were a bit sketchy and i had to wait till i was further gone to get a positive result.i feel pregnant what should i do ? thankyou
Hi there,You need to repeat a urine pregnancy test or a serum Chat Doctor level one week from the test. Sometimes there can be a delay in ovulation, not necessarily due to fluoxetine, it could be that you ovulate a little later which is causing the negative result. So it would be best that you repeat the urine pregnancy test in a weeks time. Till then continue the Folic acid that you have been taking. You should consult your physician regarding the fluoxetine intake and if it can be safely decreased or stopped, this would depend on how long and for what indication you are taking the fluoxetine. Also do not stop taking it without physician advice, as with Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Regards.
