Possible False Positive Pregnancy Test

2017-05-25 00:12:13
I was prescribed a medication called Ropinirole for restless leg. I began feeling odd (cramps in my lower stomach, mood swings) so I bought a pregnancy test. Two tests showed positive. I read that this medication was used for Parkinson's Disease and that some medications in that category can cause a false positive. Is this possible?
