A member asked:
Could the ectopic pregnancy be detected 6 days before a missed period on a home pregnancy test ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A home pregnancy test will tell you whether or not you are pregnant. It will not tell you where the pregnancy is- in the tube (ectopic) vs in the uterus.
