Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Positive urine pregnancy test is confirmatory of pregnancy. However, at very early pregnancy, it is not visualized in transvaginal ultrasound. Ectopic pregnancy should also be ruled out.
I would suggest you to repeat the ultrasound after2 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
