A member asked:
If i have an ectopic pregnancy would the pregnancy test show up as positive or negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes both: It can be negative if there is not enough HCG present in an over the counter pregnancy test to measure, or it can be positive early on via a blood pregnancy test or later with the over the counter test.
