Hello,
Sometimes, urine pregnancy test could be inconclusive to state that you could be pregnant. In such circumstances, blood levels of beta hCG hormone is measured. This hormone levels needs to increase more than two-fold every 48 to 72 hours. Another means to find out about your pregnancy status is by means of trans-vaginal ultrasound scan. Kindly follow the instructions and advise as suggested by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
