Hallow Dear,

Usually, home urine pregnancy tests are fairly reliable, though false negative results are known if the test is performed too early. False positive results are very rare.

You have got two options:
1. Repeat the test on the overnight first morning urine sample.
2. Go for Beta hCG test. This test is highly specific and sensitive and can detect the pregnancy even before the periods are missed.

If the Beta hCG test is positive, she is pregnant. The calculations of pregnancy duration may be wrong. With the help of ultrasonography, you can decide the duration of pregnancy. This will confirm the pregnancy also.

Hope this helps you.
