Hi, I have gone through your question , and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest suggest you the best best possible treatment options.
If you have missed your periods and your urine pregnancy test is positive, it is most likely to be positive.
False positive test means test is positive but blood beta HCG test is negative. This can happen due to some defects in test kit.
I will suggest you to get blood beta HCG test and USG done to confirm your pregnancy.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks
