Hi welcome to the health care magic

I will solve your query and will give my opinion in this answer.....

Let me explain you false positive urine card test causes......
_abortion history in last 6 week
_Test not done as per kit insert
_reading not taken in prescribed time in kit insert
_expired kit
_urine contamination with blood
_trophoblastic tumour etc...

I advise you to repeat urine card(at home) or blood hcg estimation done (at hospital)

I need to know USG done by Transvaginal route or transabdominal route??

Tvs sonography able to visualize gestational sac 5 week after LMP if conception occured

And for Transabdominal time period is 6 week after LMP

Urine card positive 5 week after LMP

And remember USG confirmation needed to rule out pregnancy

Hope I have solved your query

Take care
