HERBS AND PREGNANCY TEST Doctor, Are there any herbs that can cause a false positive pregnancy test? I have been taking a herbal medicine with a number of different herbs in it meant to cause weight loss. I have also started the maca maca herb for about a week now. Will it cause a fake positive pregnancy test result? LN, 32 years, Canada REPLY LN, There are no herbs which can cause a false pregnancy test. The maca maca herb will not affect the pregnancy result in any way - it will not cause a false positive test result. If you want to be sure of an accurate result, please take the urine test at least 2 weeks after the missed period. Alternatively, you can take a blood test for pregnancy. I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask a follow-up question if you need further information.
