For any one who has had an etopic pregnancy

I had a tubal ligation almost 3 yrs ago I have had normal periods since right on time every month. Not this month though I was supposed to start the 3rd or 4th of this month and still have not started. I think I might be having some pregnancy symptoms but could be my imagination I am good for creating things in my mind sometimes. lol! I have taken 2 home hpts one one the 10th and one on the 16th both were neg. I was just curious if anyone who has had an etopic pregnancy if the pregnancy showed up on a hpt? I am very confused I have called 2 clinics in my county and at each one I had one person tell me it would not and they transferred me to another person who told me yes it would, so I thought I could ask some woman who have had an experiance with an etopic. Any responses would be very greatly appriciated. :)

Hi! I had an ectopic last year and iI have positive HTP's the whole time until they figured it out. I was also bleeding and had major cramping for 2 months until I had to have emergency surgery. Good luck to you!

I had an ectopic this past July. I had a positive hpt at 5 weeks I used clear blue. I had no pain except one sharp pain at the beginning of week 4 but no other pain until after surgery. At 7 weeks I had surgery, they said my tube was bulging  but they were able to flush it out and save the tube. The best thing you could do is have a blood test done. Good luck to you.

What preg test did you use? I used acuclear at a week late and the dollar general brand at almost 2 weeks late. Both were negative. I just called the doc who did my tubal to find out what kind of tubal it was they are supposed to call me back. I think the kind of tubal that was done plays a role in your chances of getting pregnant.

I got a positive early, at 4 weeks. I had some pain on my left side (thats the side where it was) I went to the doctor and had a transvaginal u/s done and they could see it and I had to get surgery. I also had very minimal pregnancy symptoms also.
