An ectopic pregnancy will give you a positive pregnancy test, as the hormone produced still gets into the blood stream. If you have a negative pregnancy test, would be very unlikely to be an ectopic, but there are rare situations when this can happen.
As well as a positive pregnancy test, typical symptoms for an ectopic pregnancy include:
• Pain, which is usually one-sided but may be more generalised.
• Bleeding - this is usually not very heavy and may be just a brown loss. The blood loss is thought to be due to the low hormone levels made by an ectopic, which allows the lining of the uterus to come away. • Fainting or dizziness, which may be due to internal bleeding lowering the blood pressure. Shoulder-tip pain. Blood in the abdomen can irritate nerves which are shared by the skin over the shoulder area.
