Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. In view of your past history of inability to test positive on a HPT, I would ask you to get an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres as this is more sensitive and specific. You should follow this up with a trans-vaginal sonogram to confirm/exclude pregnancy. The sonogram also helps to know the status of the pelvic organs and if pregnant, helps to give the location of the gestation sac, the viability and the age of the pregnancy. Hope this helps.
