In my case, I was two weeks late and I was still getting negative tests. I just knew I was pregnant though. After 3 weeks late I finally got a faint line. My hormone level should've been doubling every day, so I should've had a positive test after just a few days. (They say it'll test when the hormone is at 25 or more.)

When I finally got an appt. to see my OB, my numbers were only at 170, and I was 7 weeks pregnant. After watching the numbers go up and down 20 or so points over the next two weeks, I was sent for surgery.

If your numbers are so long that they aren't registering on a test even after a couple weeks, there may be a good chance. Also, I started spotting and did so from the time I got the positive test until a few days after surgery. (a couple weeks) Another good indication that things are not right.

hope this helps

Yes. My sister-in-law had an ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancy tests measure the level of HPC (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your system, which is a hormone produced early in pregnancy by the placenta (the sac surrounding the baby). Regardless of the type of pregnancy, a pregnancy test will tell you the correct answer.

Yes if you take a hpt it will register, but it is best comfirmed when you have a blood test done to check your HCG levels, usually the levels will be low.

False pregnancy test with ectopic pregnancy?

Meaning "negative pregnancy test" with ectopic pregnancy: Any test can fail, urine test, blood simple test, and quantitative HGC test. Also the timing of the test versus the diagnosis by image (ultrasound). Ectopic pregnancy is only diagonsed with image, ultrasound, CT, MR.


Today you took a pregnancy test it was negative im on day 37 of your cycle im usually 29 day cycle what do you do next can this be an ectopic pregnancy?

If it was an ectopic pregnancy, you would still show positive on a pregnancy test. Do you have any other pregnancy symptoms? I would not consider pregnancy unless you feel you may be pregnant from some other sign.


Can you have an accurate pregnancy test if you have had an ectopic pregnancy before?

Of course you can doesnt change that


Does a pregnancy test read negative when you have a ectopic pregnancy?

an ectopic pregnancy has the same symptoms and signs as a regular pregnancy and you still develop the hormones you would with a normal pregnancy. The human chorionic gonadotropin levels are what cause the pregnancy test to read positive. All pregnancies have hcg levels that should be doubling every other day in early gestation.. an ectopic pregnancy may test negative if taken too early, or too late because the body will eventually,(around 6-11 weeks) begin to try to expel the pregnancy when hormone levels begin to drop when the fetus is no longer viable and must be removed Hope it helps!

If you have a tubal pregnancy will it read on a pregnancy test?

Most pregnancy tests test for the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in the woman's blood or urine. Ectopic pregnancies are usually picked up by home pregnancy tests however it is possible that do to lower levels of hCG that sometimes result from ectopic pregnancies you could get a false negative. Ectopic pregancies can potentially become very dangeros, if you suspect that you may have an ectopic pregnancy even if a home pregnancy test is negative, it would be wise to see a physician.

I am 4 days late and have backache and very light pink spotting. Is this a sign of pregnancy. Had an ectopic pregnancy last year. Should I be worried?

Yes, thse are pregnancy symptoms. Try not to worry about ectopic pregnancy. Take a test


Is an over the counter pregnancy test as effextive for an ectopic pregnancy as a normal pregnancy?

There are differences and sometime results for an ectopic can be different. Though with an ectopic your baby will not survive. They will give you medication to get rid of the baby or have to open you up. I'm in that spot right now... Good luck


Will a traditional over the counter pregnancy test indicate the presence of a Nontubial ectopic pregnancy?

The answer depends on what exactly you are asking. If your asking if a pregnancy test will show you specifically whether or not a pregnancy is in the tues or not then NO it will not. A home pregnancy test only shows that HCG has been detected in your urine. Which usually means you're pregnant. Establishing the location of the pregnancy can only be done through ultrasound with the aid of a doctor. If your concerned about ectopic please speak with your doctor. Also watch for signs of fever,spotting, and abdominal/ovary pain. Good Luck.


You do not get your periods nor is your pregnancy test positive since 6 weeks from date Is it tubular pregnancy?

I had an ectopic (tubular) pregnancy, and my home pregnancy test was positive by 5 weeks. I would go to your obgyn and get a blood test. They can check hormone levels to see if you are pregnant, how far along you may be, and if they feel it may be ectopic. Good Luck!
