Hi,
The pregnancy test generally gets positive even if it's a tubal pregnancy. So if the test is negative then I don't think it's a tubal pregnancy. If the pain is not very severe, and you are not too sick, I would say that you should use some painkillers and repeat the pregnancy test in few days to be sure that there is no pregnancy. Report to your doctor if the pain gets worse or if you do not feel good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
