Faint Positive On Pregnancy Test. Tubal Ligation Done. History Of Ectopic Pregnancy. Pregnant Possible?

I went 2 my ob-gyn yesterday for a routine check-up. I gave a urine sample and my results were faintly positive for my being pregnant. I had a tubal ligation n 2008. I had an ectopic pregnancy n 2009. I had my right tube removed and my left tube has 2 rings on it. My doctor said that it doesnt have to be a tubal pregnancy, how is this possible?
