A home pregnancy test can not detect an ectopic pregnancy. If you have gotten a postitive pregnancy test here is what you need to do.IF YOU DO EXPECT YOU DO HAVE AN ECOTOPIC PREGNANCY YOU SHOULD GET LOOKED AT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Possible complications are- Loss of embryo, Infertility and serious cases death this happens when the fallopen tube the embryo is in ruptures from the growing embryo and it can be a very serious risk to your health. -Go to your family doctor or nearest walk in clinic and get a refferal to get a blood test to confirm pregnancy - you should also ask for a refferal for an ultrasound to check how far along you are.***(THRU AN ULTRASOUND THEY CAN DETECT AN ECOTPIC PREGNANCY)*** consider all your options if you are pregnant -keeping the pregnancy -abortion(must be 6 to 8 weeks to have an abortion) In Canada they will not preform abortions after 16 weeks however in the States I believe they will do them up to 21 weeks. I personally do not believe in abortion I'm just trying to inform you to make your own decision. -adoption -once results are in ask your family doctor or doctor you are currently seeing if he can refer you to an obctetrician (get on thiss there is a huge baby boom right now and if you want a doctor with you thru out your pregnancy to monitor you and your baby there can be long waiting lists depending on your location) hope this is helpful best of luck

∙ 12y agoYes. The oocyte or egg, when fertilized will produce a specific hormone that determines the fertilization or pregnancy. hGc I believe is the hormone that is released from the corpus luteum (fertilized egg). If that hormone appears positive on a blood or urine test, you are pregnant. Even if it is an unfortunate ectopic pregnancy. The pregnancy will more than likely not go full term and cause the mother extreme pain.

∙ 14y agoI got a positive hpt when I was 4 days late with an etopic pregnancy. It depends on the sensitivity of the test and when you use the test.

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!
On the results of what test results is diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy usually made?
presentation of symptoms, a positive pregnancy test, and detection of a pregnancy outside of the uterus by means of ultrasonography
If you have a positive test but nothing is seen on the scan?
It may be a blighted ovum or an ectopic pregnancy, Be blessed.
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.
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!
Will you have a positive pregnancy test after surgery for ectopic pregnancy?
You certainly can go on to have a healthy pregnancy or pregnancies after having an ectopic pregnancy. If you had your tube removed, and still have one working tube and ovary, your chances of getting pregnant each month are simply half that of a woman with 2 functioning ovaries and tubes. This is because your ovary will most likely only release an egg every other month, as it always has.
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.
How do you know when you have ectopic pregnancy?
Ruling out ectopic pregnancy is no different with or without Depo Provera. First, the pregnancy test is positive. Second, there is a pelvic mass, or abnormal ultrasound, or abnormal change in hCG levels. Contact your health care provider if you think you may be having a tubal pregnancy, as you cannot diagnose this condition at home.
Can you have an accurate pregnancy test if you have had an ectopic pregnancy before?
Of course you can doesnt change that
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.)

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.)
