Brief Answer:
Do serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Urine pregnancy tests are not always reliable. It is important to have it tested by other means when one test is positive.

2) Serum beta hCG blood test is most confirmatory test of pregnancy. Please do a serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy.

Regards
