False positive HPT with Femara?

 I've read that Femara can cause false positives on HPT's, specifically FRER's.  For those of you taking Femara, have you had any false positives on you HPT's?

    I really don't think that's accurate. I'm pretty sure the packaging says that FRER should not give false positives for Femara or Clomid. Now if you use those with a trigger shot that wouldn't be true, but with just Femara I don't think you should be concerned. I've used it for the past 5 cycles and never experienced that. HTH!

    I agree; I don't think it can cause a false positive, although a trigger shot would.
