I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, but I'm worried about an ectopic pregnancy. Does an ectopic pregnancy still give a positive result on a home test? How do I know?
Yes, it does show positive on a home test kit. But remember, a positive test doesn't mean the pregnancy is in the right place. You must get an ultrasound scan around 6 weeks to confirm it's in the uterus.
Haan na, it definitely gives a positive pregnancy test because your body still produces the pregnancy hormone hCG. But since the egg is outside the uterus, it can be very dangerous. Please get an early scan done by your gynac to confirm the location.
Yes, because the hCG hormone is still present in your system. But ectopic is a serious condition. Keep an eye out for any one-sided pelvic pain or spotting, and consult your gynac immediately.
Looking back at my pregnancy, I remember my doctor explaining that home tests only check for hCG, which is positive in ectopic too. That's why that first scan is so important. Please book your doctor's appointment soon.
Yes, it does show up as positive! But please make sure to visit your doctor for an early ultrasound. It's the only way to be 100% sure that the little peanut is growing in the right spot! 😊
I just had my baby and remember my first scan clearly. My doctor said ectopic pregnancies test positive because of the hormones, but they aren't safe. Please get your scan done on time to ensure everything is okay.
Yes, it shows positive, which can be heartbreaking later. Because of my past miscarriage, I always advise everyone to get an early scan to rule out ectopic. If you have any sharp pain or bleeding, go to the emergency room immediately.
