I am 28 years female …new to this community and I have one problem……..I was given Ovidrel for my infertility cure and I soon started feeling nausea and vomited thus I tested with home pregnancy test and found to my happiness it to be positive I stopped my medicine and after a week met a gynaec which revealed nothing of such ……I was shocked……..I still do not believe……………can a infertile woman become pregnant and why the pregnancy test showed positive and why I had a vomiting?

A. i know for a fact that nausea and vomiting is a side effect of Ovidrel and agrees with DaronStorm on the reason of the positive pregnancy test. This hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can also be called the pregnancy hormone. it surprises me that the doctor never told you about it...
