Yes, ectopic pregnancy is a rare effect of having a tubal ligation. If you've had a tubal ligation and begin experiencing single sided pain, spotting, bleeding or dizziness you need to be evaluated for tubal pregnancy immediately.

Yes, you will still get a positive pregnancy test even with a tubal pregnancy. your body still makes hcg which is the growth hormone that is produced when your pregnant. Those levels are measured in your blood or in your urine. As long as the level is over 50 in your urine, it will show up. Good luck.

  • You are probably not pregnant as a blood test is much more accurate than a urine test. It is unusual though that the urine pregnancy test showed a positive because usually if results are wrong it is usually false negatives as the pregnancy hormone wasn't detected yet. If I were you, I would take another urine test to be sure, maybe the one you took was defective. All in all, I bet you are not pregnant. Hope you get the results you are looking for.
  • The HPT's that are made these days will not show a positive test if you do not have HCG hormone in your body. Only pregnany ,some hormone supplements, and some medications can affect the test reading and provide a positive response. If you are not taking medicine, are not on hormone replacement therapy, then the test has percieved the pregnancy hormone HcG-you are pregnant or were pregnant.
  • I called my obsterician after I received a positive result from a home pregnancy test, and my doctor told me that the home pregnancy tests that are out there are in fact pretty accurate, and that if the test was positive then the hcg hormone was detected no matter how faint the line was, and that I should assume that I was pregnant. I had my tubes tied on Febuary 2,2005. My doctors have said that sometimes the fertilized egg can seep through the fallopian tubes even though they have been tied. I guess it goes to show that no Birth Control is full proof. I have 4 girls and I guess that we're getting ready to have number 5.

Yes, a tubal pregnancy does show positive as the implanted embryo is producing the HCG. If you have a positive test then start having acute pain on one side or the other (with or without bleeding) go straight to the emergency department and tell them what has happened. A tubal pregnancy can be extremely dangerous.

Tubal Ligations and PregnancyYes, but not naturally. The tubes are blocked and cannot allow eggs to from the ovaries to the uterus (womb), so natural conception is not likely but is positive there is a 1.4-2% chance low but not impossible

Artificial methods will work and are used for women with naturally blocked tubes (which is quite common) - the techniques for extracting eggs, perfoming 'in vitro' fertilisation and implantation are effective, if rather expensive. (Test tube babies)

It is possible to tell in a pregnancy test but Im not 100 percent sure. I would see your doctor instead for a pregnancy blood test.

Yes a home pregnancy test will be accurate usually. But a blood test is the most accurate way of determing pregnancy.

yes, because you would still be pregnant and still have the hormone which is what the home pregnancy test is testing for.

Does HCG hormone show up on home pregnancy test after a tubal ligation in 2000 HELP?

Yes you can have a positive test after a tubal. I also had a tubal in 2000. Took a home pregnancy test, 3 of them. All came back positive. This was just 5 weeks ago.

Are there any home remedies for increasing chance of pregnancy after tubal?

Apart from having lots of sex and hoping for the off-chance of spontaneous healing or a failed surgery - no.


Are you pregnant if you had a tubal ligation 5 years ago and are now 14 days late for your period and have taken 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative and you also just got over the flu 1 day ago?

It is unlikely that you are pregnant, but it IS possible. If you are pregnant, the odds are that it is an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Sometimes they show positive on home pregnancy tests and sometimes they do not. An ectopic pregnancy cannot be carried to term and cannot result in a viable baby. Without medical intervention, it will burst the tube relatively early in the pregnancy, which can cause you to be in grave danger due to blood loss, etc. You need to contact your doctor without delay and be evaluated to ascertain whether or not you have an ectopic pregnancy. Please don't wait - this could mean your life.


Can a home pregnancy test show up positive after a miscarriage?

How do you know when you have ectopic pregnancy?

Ruling out ectopic pregnancy is no different with or without Depo Provera. First, the pregnancy test is positive. Second, there is a pelvic mass, or abnormal ultrasound, or abnormal change in hCG levels. Contact your health care provider if you think you may be having a tubal pregnancy, as you cannot diagnose this condition at home.

Will a false pregnancy pseudocyesis give a positive test result on a home pregnancy test?

Although I do not have a uterius, flopian tubes, or a vagina i still know that if a home pregnancy test is negative that the result is not completely accurate. My professional advice would be to take home 5 pregnancy test that you would get in your everyday grocery store and whether it be positive or negative when they're is 5 tests it doubles the accuratacy. If 3 out of the 5 say you are pregnant than most likely you will be expecting. If 3 out of the 5 say you are not pregnant than most likely you are not, but home pregnancy tests are man made and have errors, so i would still see your doctor to confirm the home pregnancy test.

Can you pass a home pregnancy test and not be pregnant?

It is possible to get a false positive on a pregnancy test, but highly improbable. I once went in the doctor after taking a home pregnancy test and the doctor basically said that he would not test again, because they use the same test and I was pregnant. But, I did get a false positive as a teenager and the 2nd test was negative. Take a 2nd test.
