hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. * Urine pregnancy test done at home can show false +ve results when- - THe collected urine sample is polluted.This can happen due to either urinary infection/ vaginal infection & discharge contaminating urine/ unclaen skin conditions of the patient which can contaminate urine sample. - the container in which urine is collected is not clean & is polluted. *Blood HCg test has no such errors & so is reliable& best test to confirm pregnancy in doubtful cases. * USG scanning can confirm pregnancy after 5 weeks pregnancy..( when gesatational sac is visible) which is also variable according to date of conception & regularity of menstrual cycle. .If you are doubtful you can go for USG scan as a confirmatory test for diagnosing/ excluding pregnancy. Thanks.
