Can Stress Play a Role in My Fertility?
~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~
Stress can affect every area of a person's life. Lifestyle
changes, deaths, illness, injuries, personal conflicts, and
any number of other things can create stress. The body
responds to stress in a variety of ways.
When you are stressed, your organs begin to work extra hard
to help defend your body from what it perceives as a threat.
Your blood pressure rises, your palms sweat, and your skin
becomes clammy. If you have regular, sustained, or chronic
stress, it can negatively affect your sleeping patters, and
can lead to serious issues like depression. In addition,
there is some evidence that stress can even interfere with
fertility in some cases.

Can Stress Affect a Home Pregnancy Test Results?
~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~
Taking a home pregnancy test may potentially be the most
exciting day of your life, or the scariest! Regardless, you
will want to know that the results of the home pregnancy
test are accurate and if there is anything at all that might
affect the test results. The good news is that home
pregnancy tests are extremely accurate, especially if taken
right around the time of a missed period. Also, very few
things will affect the outcome of a home pregnancy test. The
few things that might have an impact include drugs that
contain the hormone HCG, which might result in a false
positive. Drugs, stress, painkillers, birth control pills,
alcohol, and the like will not give a false positive.
