Why would a pregnancy test show a positive result after taking Deviry 10 mg to bring on a missed period, even though I have not had unprotected sex, my recent pelvic ultrasound scans were completely normal, and I am now experiencing severe bloating and nausea?
Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestin hormone and does not contain hCG, the hormone detected by pregnancy tests. Therefore, the medication itself cannot cause a false-positive result. Since very early pregnancies might not be visible on a pelvic ultrasound yet, and no contraceptive method is entirely foolproof, it is important to investigate further. Your symptoms of bloating and nausea can be side effects of Deviry or signs of early pregnancy. I gently recommend contacting your healthcare provider for a quantitative blood pregnancy test to get clear, accurate answers and ensure your peace of mind.
