How To Check For Pregnancy?

Good Afternoon......I have taken 3 pregnacy tests and they all came back positive. Went to the doctor office and took a urine pregnacy test which came back negative. I'm a little confused because I've also been spotting for the past 5 days. Should I be concerned?

HI,
I understand your query.
False +ve pregnancy test is possible due to wrong use of the kit/ contamination of urine sample/ contaminated container for urine collection.
_ ve urine pregnancy test needs to be confirmed by blood HCG testing/ abdominal USG scanning ( after 5 weeks of pregnancy)
-The spotting you have may be a normal period/ hormonal irregularity causing change in menses.( PCOD)
Please get yourself investigated / consult a gynecologist for treatment & be relaxed.
Thanks.
