My test came positive but i have some one sided pain and im a little scared after reading things online. I have my first scan in few days and planning to ask my gynac then. Just wanted to understand this from others who went through it.
Yes, an ectopic still produces hcg so a home test can show positive, my doctor explained this. The problem is it's growing in the wrong place, which a scan detects. If you have pain, bleeding or dizziness with a positive test, please see your gynac urgently.
This is a sensitive one, the test can show positive even then. Having been through loss, I'd really urge you not to wait if there's pain or bleeding. A quick scan with your doctor gives clarity, please go.
I had an ectopic and yes my test was positive too, which is why it can be tricky. Sharp one sided pain or bleeding with a positive must not be ignored, please go in fast. Early scan is what catches it.
