A member asked:

Can a ruptured cyst cause a positive pt and give you pregnancy symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: A simple ruptured ovarian cyst can simulate pregnancy symptoms but does not affect the pregnancy test. Pregnancy can happen outside of the uterus; and if a complex ovarian cyst is such ectopic pregnancy, it would affect the pregnancy test. Beta HCG levels & pelvic ultrasound are better at detecting normal & ectopic pregnancy. See your doctor or OB for evaluation.
