I read somewhere that after a miscarriage or abortion, the hcg remains in your blood for 6-8 weeks, so I'd wait before taking another one, or have your doc do a blood test.
I had a ectopic pregnancy at the end of Febuary. The doctor should had let you know if your hcg were going downn or still high. I was told to wait at least one period before I try to get pregnant again. If you did wait at least one period you might be pregnant. To be sure I would go get a blood test.
It is correct that it may take 6 weeks for HCG to fall back after an ectopic, but you cannot tell if you are pregnant from one level, you need a second check to see if levels are falling.
Alternatively, As you had an ectopic pregnancy, it is of course possible that you had an intrauterine pregnancy as well.

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!
Does home pregnancy test detect pregnancy hormone with ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, it will you are still producing the hormone. If you think that is what it may be,you need to be seen it can be very dangerous.
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!
How long after having an ectopic pregnancy removed does the hcg hormone stay in your system?
If the ectopic pregnancy has been terminated (either medically or naturally) it should take around 2-5 weeks for your body to realise what has happen and ovulate again.
What can make a pregnancy test positive if you are not pregnant?
I don't think anything can to be honest. For a pregnancy test to be positive you have to have the HCG hormone in your system, this hormone is only in your system when you are pregnant so if it's positive then i think you are pregnant.
One positive one negative result no period and pregnancy symptoms are you pregnant?
As I was once told, "a positive is a positive"The body produced a hormone called HCG only when pregnant.HCG is the hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. This hormone is what a pregnancy test detects. It stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. During a normal pregnancy, the HCG levels will steadily rise throughout pregnancy.
Can you have a normal birth after ectopic pregnancy?
Yes it is possible to have an ectopic pregnancy and have a negative pregnancy test, it is also possible to have a healthy pregnancy and have a positive pregnancy test in the first 10 days after a missed period. Pregnancy test kits are each calibrated to different levels of sensitivity and you have to ensure you are using a quality test, which is calibrated to detect reliably levels of hCG (the hormone, made in pregnancy.)

A pregnancy test can show a positive result if you have miscarried. There is still enough hormone in your body to produce a positive result.

The hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy and gives a positive pregnancy test.
Will a home pregnancy test detect a ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, it will.I don't know who wrote that it will.... ^". Ectopic pregnancies don't always register on http://wiki.answers.com/0_home-pregnancy-tests_2029.bc, so if you suspect there's a problem, don't wait for a positive pregnancy test to contact your caregiver."source: babycenter.comyou could have an ectopic pregnancy and the test won't pick it up because your hormones aren't rising like they should so the at home test wont pick anything up..(I don't understand why people put answers when they don't know everything. I'm not a doctor or anything, but you can find out true facts on real credited resources... so at least research something before you go and write your opinion.)

No, because even if the ovum has implanted it won't yet be producing sufficient hormone to give a positive test.
Can Urinary track infection causes fake positive result of pregnancy blood test?
No, UTI does not cause a false positive pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests are very specific to hCG (the pregnancy hormone), if the test reads positive you are pregnant.
