Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You can repeat urine pregnancy test after 4-5 days. It may be false negative or weak positive in early pregnancy due to low HCG hormone level.
If you have strong doubt, ultrasound of pelvis is the investigation of choice. It can detect G-sac earliest.
So, don’t worry and you can opt any one method.
Take care
