Detailed Answer:
thank you so much for asking your question on healthcare magic. I will do my best to help you.
it is extremely unusual for the results to fluctuate like that, even if you do drink a lot of water the results should be either consistently positive or consistently negative. if you are late for your period, and you have been having unprotected sex, then my guess is that you are pregnant and the negatives were either false negatives or not done properly. if you are not late for your period, and you haven't been having unprotected sex, or if you are using birth control, then my guess is that you are not pregnant and the positive tests were either false or not properly done.
in order to truly figure this out, you should go to your doctor for a blood test and maybe an ultrasound. then you can get a definite answer to the dilemma.
I hope I answered your question adequately, please let me know if you have any more questions, or if you have more information that might help me figure this out for you.
