Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
It is important to rule out pregnancy.
Urine pregnancy test may be faint positive or false negative in early pregnancy.It is due to less amount of HCG hormone in urine in early pregnancy.
You should repeat urine pregnancy test after 10 days.
But,you also need ultrasound of pelvis for confirmation of pregnancy.It is the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy as it can detect G-sac earliest.
Hope i have answered your query.
