My daughter had a positve pregancy test stop taking the pill in Jan had a pregancy test two weeks ago it was negative and then on this past thursday she took a test with the Dr and now she is pregnant. Yesteday went for a transvan.. ultrsound and it showed an empty sac. Test still say shes pregnant. Is it possible it just too early. Her blood levels go up on Monday can it be a false read. meaning the levels go up but still nothng in sac.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
If first test is done very early then it might be negative.
But second test is done in time i.e after 8-10 days passed over her expected period might be positive.
But again on ultra sound sac is empty and pregnancy test positive, chances of having Ectopic pregnancy is there.
Consult and remain follow up with your Obst. for further evaluation.
Ok and bye.
