I'm worried about an ectopic pregnancy. Can a regular home pregnancy test kit tell me if it's an ectopic pregnancy, or will it just show positive for any pregnancy?
No, kit can't detect ectopic, it will only tell u if you are pregnant or not. You need a proper doctor's scan for this. If you are having severe pain or spotting, don't wait at home.
Kit will show positive but won't specify if it is ectopic or not. Don't waste money on buying multiple expensive kits thinking they will show something different, just plan for a doctor's visit and scan.
Beti, test kit will just show positive, it cannot tell where the baby is. Drink some warm milk and rest, but please go to the clinic and get a proper scan done quickly if u feel any sharp pain.
A home urine kit will only show positive because hCG hormone is still there. But my gynac said only an early ultrasound scan can actually detect if the pregnancy is ectopic or in the uterus.
Yes, the kit will show two lines because hCG is present, but it won't tell u if it's ectopic. With my PCOS I was always extra careful, so please go for a scan early to be 100% sure.
Honestly, my brain is too tired at 8 months to think of medical terms, but I know kits only check hCG. Better to leave the detection to the doctor's ultrasound machine than trying to guess from a pink line!
