Brief Answer:
Serum HCG levels will confirm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The urine pregnancy tests are accurate in 95% cases. Since you have the sickness and earlier the test was positive, the second test can be false negative. It is best to get your serum HCG levels evaluated to be sure.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
