History Of Ectopic Pregnancy. Variable Pregnancy Tests. Can Ectopic Pregnancy Resolve Itself?
Hi I have had two positive home pregnancy tests and now a negative blood test today. the nurse worked my dates to be 5 days pregnant. I have had a previous ectopic pregnancy and am worried that this is happening again however my bloods showed a level of 3 on hcg test today. Can an ectopic pregnancy resolve itself or is there a possibility that I am still pregnant?

Hi Donnelly.
Thank you for putting up your problem to Healcare Magic!
Tubal pregnancy can regress by itself.
But urine pregnancy test are frequently false positive also.
Serum beta-HCG are more specific and levels less than 5 effectively rule out the possibility of a pregnancy.
So you are not pregnant, you can relax.
I hope this information would be both informative and helpful for you
