Answer
Dear Nini,

Most tests are very accurate.  There is almost no way that a "positive" could be wrong.  

There is a time limit on each test.  Read the directions carefully.  Usually it will say something like, "after 3 minutes the results will show, but after 10 minutes the results are not accurate any longer."

So whatever the first result is, that is the correct one.  It sounds like you are pregnant to me, because of your symptoms and the positive pregnancy test.  You should see a doctor immediately to get a confirmation on your positive result.

Best wishes,

Deb
