Question
I have read that the pregnancy occurence afterwards is still possible although very rare--maybe 1.8%.  And I have also read that 70-80% of those are ectopic.  I have taken two different pregnancy tests, both of which came out Negative.  But I have pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and breast leaking if pinched.  Are the tests 100% accurate?  Should we be looking for a different cause?

Answer
Hello Janey,

You might want to try a test at a local pregnancy resource center. It's free there and you can find a location at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If your test is not positive, you might want to go to a doctor to get a thorough checkup. Please let me know what happens. I am interested. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
