A pregnancy test can definitely tell if you are pregnant, even if it is ectopic, however it will not specify if it’s ectopic. The best way to determine that is by ultrasound. Also, the level of hCG is usually lower in ectopic pregnancies. If you think you might have an ectopic pregnancy, I would definitely recommend getting it checked out. I had one recently and had to have emergency surgery as a result of it.

a hpt can read a etopic but only a ultrasound can see it and know it’s etopic.

No matter what kind of pregnancy you experience, a HPT will show a positive if you are pregnant. It will not show specifcally if its ectopic or not.

An ectopic pregnancy is exactly the same as a normal pregnancy – just in the wrong place. So, yes a pregnancy test will read positive if you have an ectopic pregnancy.

Yes if the HCG level is high enough to detect on the test.

yes, it can read an ectopic pregnancy, but the only way of knowing if it is ectopic is by getting an ultrasound.
