Experiencing Pregnancy Symptoms. Having On And Off Spotting. Urine And Blood Test Showed Negative. Any Ideas?

Thanks for posting your query.
Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after, but usually it should be done 7-10 days past your missed period. Use a morning sample of urine and two lines means a positive test. To confirm the status of your pregnancy, you can repeat the test after 5 days or get a serum HCG test done which is more specific than a urine test.
Sometimes a delayed conception causes a late positive pregnancy test.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
