Hello,
Even if it an ectopic pregnancy, you would still test positive for pregnancy. Bladder infection can give you many symptoms mimicking pregnancy, like, absence of periods, nausea, abdominal pain etc. You can get a clarification of the situation by getting a trans-vaginal sonogram done and also an assessment of the serum beta-hCG titres for confirmation/exclusion of pregnancy. Thus, an ectopic pregnancy also can be diagnosed. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.
