Question

the reason im asking is because i had a tubal and i am a week late on my period and i took a home pregnancy test a couple days ago and it was negative..my last period was june 23 and it is now july 31.

Answer 1

Even if you are having an ectopic pregnancy, the hormones will that indicate a positive test will still be present, but tubal pregnancies are so dangerous. I hope you're ok.

Answer 2

A tubal pregnancy will show positive, but it normally takes longer to show up because your hormone levels do not increase as quickly with a tubal pregnancy. If you had your tubes tied and it has been more than 5 yrs it is more likely to happen than if you had them burnt and cut as they do now. The stats for burning and cutting is 1 in about a million. See below for symptoms, you could be late due to stress, but if you start to have any pain, seek medical attention immediately!!!!! If you do have a tubal pregnancy it can cause your tube to rupture and that can be life threatening if not caught in time:


A major concern with a tubal pregnancy, as with any ectopic pregnancy, is internal bleeding. If there is any doubt, seek medical attention promptly.

Pain is usually the first symptom of a tubal pregnancy. The pain, often one-sided, may be in the pelvis, abdomen or even in the shoulder or neck (due to blood from a ruptured tubal pregnancy building up under the diaphragm and the pain being "referred" up to the shoulder or neck). The pain is usually sharp and stabbing. Weakness, dizziness or lightheadedness, and a sense of passing out upon standing can represent serious internal bleeding, requiring immediate medical attention.

Diagnosis of a tubal pregnancy includes a pelvic exam to test for pain, tenderness or a mass in the abdomen. The most useful laboratory test is the measurement of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). In a normal pregnancy, the level of hCG doubles about every two days during the first 10 weeks whereas in a tubal pregnancy, the hCG rise is usually slower and lower than normal. Ultrasound can also help determine if a pregnancy is ectopic, as may sometimes culdocentesis, the insertion of a needle through the vagina into the space behind the uterus to see if there is blood there from a ruptured Fallopian tube.

Treatment of a tubal pregnancy is surgery, often by laparoscopy today, to remove the ill-fated pregnancy. A ruptured tube usually has to be removed. If the tube has yet not burst, it may be possible to repair it.

The prognosis (outlook) for future pregnancies depends on the extent of the surgery. If the Fallopian tube has been spared, the chance of a successful pregnancy is usually better than 50%. If a Fallopian tube has been removed, an egg can be fertilized in the other tube, and the chance of a successful pregnancy drops somewhat below 50%.

Answer 3

If you have an eptopic pregnancy once, you are automatically at increased risk for having another one; that besides, it would still show up positive on a pregnancy test. Some women just have lower than average hcg levels throughout their entire pregnancies and go on to deliver normal, healthy babies; if you took it a couple of days ago and it came up negative, I suggest trying again on Aug 6 (two weeks late); if still neg, go to your doctor to see if you can find out why. How recently did you have the tubal preg.? Because I may take a couple of cycles for everything to get back to normal too.

Answer 4

Pregnancy In Your Tubes

Answer 5

Yes, no matter where the baby implants it will put off the hormone that a pregnancy test tests for. To be on the safe side you should get checked. The Dr. can do an ultrasound to make sure that the baby is implanted in a good location. It won't take long for the baby to get big enough to rupture your tube and put you in mortal danger. You run the risk of losing the tube, your fertility, and your life. Better safe than sorry...get checked.

Answer 6

Yes, it still comes out positive. Even in the tube the baby continues growing (until it's either taken care of or ther's a rupture) so the HCG hormone is released, which is what pregnany tests look for. I'm assuming you already had this taken care of, but it takes a little while beofre the hormone level goes back to normal.

Answer 7

An atopical pregnancy is very, very rare. Probably has something to due to your tubal. After a tubal ligation you periods become less and less regular. If you had your tubal within the last couple of months, you shouldn't be concerned at all.

Answer 8

you propose HPT top? i might take a house being pregnant try, morning affliction and nutrients aversions are surely being pregnant symptons yet in basic terms a being pregnant try or blood try will tell for optimistic hun :)

Answer 9

yes. go see a doctor to have the baby removed from your tubes to avoid rupturing one or both of them. If you don't, you could die.

Answer 10

Yes. It should still come out positive.
