dear user. welcome to healthcare magic.
the blood test is much more sensitive than the home urine test. So the first thing to do in your case is to have a quantitative hcg test in you blood.
if the test is negative consider this as an abnormal event that happened due to any reason (stress for an example), and wait for the next cycle. if the test is positive, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible to identify the cause of bleeding and to exclude ectopic pregnancy.
Although pregnancy is a remote possibility but it should be excluded.
I hope these words were useful to you.
good luck.
dr. Ahmed Bahaa.
