    Question

    I was taking a diet pill, Stacker 3, and I had a bad cold, missed my period but on my "last day" I discharged brown/old blood. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative then after a while positive and it was confusing. Is trying the vitamin C home abortion remedy worth trying?

    Answer

    With increased stress and illness it is possible to throw your monthly cycle off. Often times the pregnancy test results will appear falsely positive (plus sign) if left out for a long time. It is best to read the test as instructed in the directions included with the home pregnancy test. The best way to get a final answer is come into a laboratory (at your physician's office) and take a pregnancy test at the lab. That way you will be assured that it is being read correctly.
