welcome to Health care magic.
1.The pregnancy test, if its positive means you are pregnant, negative means no pregnancy. But there are false positive and false negative.
2.Your first test could be false positive - as the following tests are giving negative.
3.Urine pregnancy test is reliable for approximately 97%.
4.So if you still suspect, get an blood BHcg test for confirmation.
5.Future recommend to have a safe sex to avoid these tensions .
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
