Is it possible to conclude that it's not an ectopic pregnancy if it's found that you're not pregnant?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Q: Just wondering, if it's an ectopic pregnancy, you also take a urine test. The urine test can tell if you're pregnant. So, if the test shows you're not pregnant, can we infer that it's not an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Yes, if both hematuria and HCG are normal, ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. Under normal circumstances, the fertilized egg moves from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity, settles in, and gradually develops into a fetus. However, due to various reasons, the fertilized egg may encounter an issue during migration and fail to reach the uterus, instead staying somewhere else, which results in ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy in medical terms. Over 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes. Such fertilized eggs not only fail to develop into a normal fetus but also pose a dangerous risk, like a time bomb. For patients, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
