Nor will a yeast infection interfere with an ovulation predictor test.
I have a yeast infection! Will this hurt my chances or affect my
ovulation predictor kit test results?
This will not affect your OPK results or your chances for pregnancy.
Check with your doctor on what you use to treat it.
A yeast infection CAN interfere, causing a false negative with a
test called fFN (Fetal fibronectin), NOT a pregnancy test.

Rapid urine pregnancy tests, the kind used at home and in some
clinics and hospitals have a filter built in, that is intended to
filter out artifacts in urine, such as cells, mucus, and yeast. The
test is meant to interact with HCG, a hormone present in pregnant
women. Obviously, a yeast infection will not affect a pregnancy that
uses blood as the sampling fluid.
If you have a very heavy yeast infection or other vaginal discharge,
consider though, obtaining a clean catch urine sample. To do this,
using towlettes, or flushable baby wipes, wipe your genital area front
to back, 2-3 times. Allow the first part of your urine to fall into
the toilet, and collect a mid-stream sample. This allows accumulations
of cells, microscopic clumps of toilet paper, bacteria and yeast to be
washed into the toilet, and not into the testing sample. With the
exception of some tests, this is the best way to collect a urine
sample for most tests! Collecting a clean catch urine sample would
eliminate any possibility of interference due to a faulty test kit
filter, and allow the urine to pass through to the testing reagent
quicker.
Good luck!
