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.com

you 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.)

Yes and No, I had an ectopic pregnancy and we found it because my HCG levels in the blood test were not doubling like they were suppose to. But it was my 3rd ultrasound, ( I went every week for one after I found out I was pregnant and we were watching my HCG levels) and we finally found out that yes it was in my tube. So not one blood test will tell you if it is ectopic or not.. but a series of them will.

Ok... if you have an ectopic pregnancy, it is possible that a home pregnancy test (any brand) shows positive [when a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, it does NOT always show as positive]. It did show positive in my case. BUT, it will NOT tell you you have an ectopic pregnancy. What you feel physically will tell you if you have an ectopic pregnancy; bleeding (different degrees), abdominal pain (severe to light), dizziness, rushing to the toilet (diarrhoea...) feeling faint or even fainting (then, it is an emergency of higher priority [tube ruptured and abdominal internal bleeding], irregular heart beats (palpitations), hot flushes, etc. The symptoms might start showing weeks after becoming pregnant.

There is a hormone called HCG that shows up when a fetus is growing. No matter where the fetus is growing, in utero or out. It will most likely pick it up but maybe not until farther along. If you think you have an ectopic pregnancy it is best to call a doctor IMMEDIATELY and get blood tests and an ultrasound.

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!
