    Etoppic pregnancys are so dangerous as you are aware....

    you are very lucky to have found out about it at an early stage again... Ive had 2 people in the family wo have died from an etopic pregnancy - doctor mis diognosed it and it kept going leading to a rupture and they still didnt know what went on -

    if you are not happy with ur doc get a second opinion, as get it asap, dont risk anything....

    i hope it all works out

    First, I am very sorry for your loss.

    Second: false negatives: even at the hospital or a doctors office- the tests they use are much the same as the tests we buy at the store to check for pregnancy- so the test read negative. It may have been an afternoon appt. when your urine was weaker and the HCG couldn't be read.

    Good luck and rest! Again, I am really sorry for your loss.
