Brief Answer:
Blood pregnancy test, ultrasound by experienced
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
It is not rare to see women who experience signs and symptoms of pregnancy while not pregnancy. Over zealousness to get pregnant could on its own explain "false" pregnancy signs and symptoms.
It is true that some pregnancy tests could give false positive results. But i am afraid, from what you describe, the result should be a positive pregnancy test. If the test was of good quality, was conducted and interpreted well, it would be rare or almost impossible for the results to be false positive result.
An ultrasound at 9 weeks should be able to give a definitive diagnosis concerning the state. The uterus' content and surrounding, be explain to present any exttrauterine mass in favor of an extra uterine pregnancy, the fetal heart beat in case there is a baby in the uterus.
A good pregnancy test and an ultrasound are sufficient to make the difference of whether there is a pregnancy or not. Get a pregnancy test done, with a blood sample to test for Beta HCG and get an experienced ultrasonographer or radiologist get an ultrasound done. Your description make chances for it being a pregnancy slim , very unlikely but possible. Feel free asking follow up questions in case you got any specific concerns. Kind regards.
