Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy tests may be positive for two weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The BHcg will remain in system for as long as 3- 4 weeks. It can be detectable in urine home test for 2 weeks. She may do BHcg blood test to check it and may check the drop of BHcg in 3-4 days.
Also an ultrasound can be done after two weeks to check it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
