pregnancy test?

Question

Okay once again, took a test 2 days after missed period, it was positive, but is it true if you re take the test and its negative can it mean ectopic pregnancy? should i be worrying about ectopic pregnancy on side is hurting mildly and a bit of cramps plz help

Answer 1

An ectopic pregnancy will produce pregnancy hormone just like a normal pregnancy so I don't think there is a relationship between ectopic and a negative test result. You will need a series of blood tests to try and determine ectopic or not this early on. If it is normal, the quantitative HCG level will effectively double every 48-72 hrs. With an ectopic, the hormone will increase at first but then begin to level off (this is why you will need a series of tests to determine, you can't just tell from one). This is the only way to determine ectopic until approx 5 or 6 weeks when they can then do a transvaginal US and see either the tube expanding or a gestational sac inside the uterus. I just went through this. Good luck.

Answer 2

Yes it is true I had one 2 months ago.
Ectopic means "out of place." In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg has implanted outside the uterus. The egg settles in the fallopian tubes more than 95% of the time. This is why ectopic pregnancies are commonly called "tubal pregnancies." The egg can also implant in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix, so you may see these referred to as cervical or abdominal pregnancies.

None of these areas has as much space or nurturing tissue as a uterus for a pregnancy to develop. As the fetus grows, it will eventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life. A classical ectopic pregnancy never develops into a live birth.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of a normal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, or frequent urination.

Pain is usually the first red flag. You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). Most women describe the pain as sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis, and it may come and go or vary in intensity.

Any of the following additional symptoms can suggest an ectopic pregnancy:

vaginal spotting or bleeding
dizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss)
low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss)
lower back pain

Answer 3

One side hurting mildly or cramping could be which ovary released your egg. If you think you might be pregnant, see your doctor ASAP. Only your doctor can confirm the pregnancy and may do an ultrasound, which will determine if it is indeed ectopic or a pregnancy that should carry to term. As far as ectopic pregnancies not showing up on tests, I've never heard of that. A pregnancy test measures hormone levels released into your urine and has no way of telling where those hormones are coming from. Good Luck!

Answer 4

I would only worry about ectopic pregnancy if the pain is severe and you are feeling dizzy or faint and you're bleeding.

Most women with an ectopic pregnancy say the pains are sharp, not mild.

Otherwise, mild cramps and pains, even on one side, are common in early pregnancy.

As to your question about the negative pregnancy test, studies have shown that 17% of women with ectopic pregnancies register a false negative test.

Answer 5

Go see a doctor!!!!!!!! that way you cant freak out about stuff, they will test you and if you really are worried about an ectopic pregnancy bring that up to your doctor. I get sharpe pains in my left side daily, and its just from my uterus growing.
