Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
As both the urine pregnancy test kits show dichotomous and contradictory results, it is better that you may get a serum beta hcg test done, which is a blood test.
If the hcg levels are more than 5mIU, then you are surely pregnant , else you are not.

Often there are false positives results seen with urine pregnancy test kits, so serum beta hcg test should be undertaken instead.
The resulting second line should be as dark as the first line.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are just the same. Clinically indistinguishable, so a serum beta hcg test confirmation shall be mandatory to lament you as pregnant conclusively.
