Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Sensitivity of urine pregnancy test is less than blood test. So in very early period it can happen that urine pregnancy test is negative and blood pregnancy test is positive. Otherwise in late stage ir doesn't happen generally.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
