What Does Positive Result In HPT With No Visual In Ultrasound Mean?

Hi! I took 7 home pregnancy tests that came out positive 12 after my period was due. My cycle lasts 35 days. I went to a clinic where they confirmed the positive test but saw nothing on the ultrasound. Could I still be pregnant? I m going Friday for a transvaginal ultrasound.

Hi thanks for posting on hcm.
Yes still of chance of you being pregnant with fetus outside of uterus which we call an ectopic pregnancy which is not good for you.
I would recommend you to get the transvaginal ultrasound done and locate the fetus if it is a confirmed ectopic pregnancy then unfortunately you need to abort it to prevent complications.
Hope this helped you.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
