Can a negative pregnancy test result indicate an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my husband two days ago. Now I feel like I might be pregnant, so I bought a pregnancy test kit and took a test. This time the result was negative. I'm wondering if it could be an ectopic pregnancy. I want to ask if a negative pregnancy test could still be an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Sexual intercourse can lead to pregnancy again, which can be clearly inferred through relevant careful examinations. The first thing to understand is this. If pregnancy occurs again, ectopic pregnancy can also be checked with a urine early pregnancy test, but the results of this test can only suggest pregnancy and cannot indicate ectopic pregnancy. The standard diagnosis for ectopic pregnancy is a B of the uterine appendages, where the gestational sac is observed implanting outside the uterus.
