Can a UTI or AZO affect test ?

KMorley3 · January 2014

I need some advice !!

In November my IUD came out after about 2 years and I immediately was started on the pill once my period stopped.

I had a normal period "sometime" in December. " I think",it was before Christmas. (I am awful at having to track again)

This passed Saturday I took my last pill from my pack and then the waiting game for "Flow" to come started.

Here is my problem.. I am awful at remembering things. I repeatedly forgot to take my pill but then would take 2 the next day if I missed a day. I did that a few times with this pack of pills. ( I know, I know shame on me)

I worried a little when I didn't have any sign of a period coming on Sunday so I tested with the clear blue.

First test error'd out and the 2nd said Negative. The day before I started taking AZO for a UTI.

Can the AZO or UTI affect the test ? I still have not started my period and should be starting my new pack of pills Sunday.

Sorry for this rant !!

If you missed pills, then it would affect your hormones and throw off your "period".

Thanks, you think after 2 kids I would know this stuff.

It's been awhile since I had to take the pill and it's apparent I need to chose a different form of BC.

The nuvaring is great for forgetful folks.

Just chiming in to say that if you are that bad at taking your pill consider other forms. I was pretty good but not perfect taking it, and I have a 15 month old surprise baby. I rarely missed a pill, but frequently took it a few hours late.
