Why does the test paper show a positive result, but the urine test is negative?

Patient's question:

Please help me, doctors.
My girlfriend hasn't come for 42 days now. Normally, she comes every 30 days. Yesterday morning, I used a David early pregnancy test strip to test, and it showed a weak positive, which means she is pregnant. Then I went to the hospital for a urine test, but the result came back negative, meaning she is not pregnant. This morning, I used another brand of early pregnancy test strip to have her test again, and the result was the same as yesterday—still a weak positive, which means she is pregnant.
Doctors, could you please tell me if this situation could really be pregnancy? If it really is pregnancy, how should we handle it?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, in such a situation, the HCG level is indeed relatively low. The bleeding may be a possible sign of threatened miscarriage or biochemical pregnancy. It is indeed necessary to pay attention to follow-up tests. Pay attention to observing the HCG doubling situation. It is not easy to determine whether a miscarriage has occurred. Pay attention to slow down the check-ups. Supplement folic acid and get proper rest.
