Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Pregnancy test may be weakly positive in early days of pregnancy due to less amount of HCG in urine.
You should repeat urine pregnancy test after 1-2 weeks.Then it may be strongly positive.
However Ultrasound of pelvis is the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy as it detects G-sac earliest.

Take Care
