Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the urine pregnancy test is usually positive a week after missed period or around 3 weeks after the intercourse.As the urine pregnancy test was positive the pregnancy is likely.But as there is conflicting report by blood test of HCG I suggest you to repeat the urine pregnancy test and ultrasound also helps in confirmation of diagnosis.
