Will using contraception alter the result of a fertility test?

In the vast majority of cases, contraceptives should make no difference to the test result; however, there are instances when contraceptives can have an impact on the result. Condoms and the contraceptive pill cannot affect the results of a fertility test, but hormonal contraceptives may have some influence as they may cause the hormone that the test is looking for to be stimulated. If you are using contraceptives, you should discuss this with your doctor before you have a fertility test; they may advise you to use an alternative form of contraception or stop taking the contraceptive.
