Ectopic with Negative pregnancy test

Hey,

Hope this is ok to ask on here. I had an ectopic 6 years ago, and I remember I had a mixture of test results positive and negative.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to have an ectopic and have solely negative pregnancy tests?

Thanks :blush:

Dear Bettyisland,

It isn’t common to have an ectopic pregnancy with a negative home pregnancy test. It does depend on the levels of hormone that the home test registers, some are more accurate than others. I always advise testing with your first urine of the day.

If you have concerns, I would recommend speaking to your GP or medical team, who can complete a blood test for the hCG pregnancy hormone, if they feel that it is appropriate.

Sending much love,
