Will a pregnancy test be positive with a tubal pregnancy?

Yes, it will usually show positive. But this is very serious. I once ignored some pains thinking it was just stress, and it turned out to be something much worse. If you have any symptoms like severe abdominal pain, shoulder pain, or dizziness along with a positive test, go to the emergency room immediately. Don't delay, please.

Yes, my test was positive when I had a tubal pregnancy. The hCG hormone is there. But the red flags for me were intense one-sided abdominal pain and some spotting. It felt very different from a normal pregnancy. Get an ultrasound done if you suspect anything, that's how it was confirmed for me.

Beta, a pregnancy test will detect the hCG hormone, so yes, it generally will be positive even with a tubal pregnancy. But tubal pregnancies are very dangerous and need immediate medical attention. It's a good reminder that regular checkups and listening to your body are important for overall health, not just for BP.

Oh god, this is terrifying! So you can get a positive test but it's not a normal pregnancy? How would anyone even know then without going to the doctor? Has anyone else felt this kind of worry about the 'what if' situations?
