HCG and false positive HPT? Help needed

Hi, I'm not sure whats going on, had HCG on Aug 11, IUI Aug 12 and apparently ovulated on Aug 13(day 16)...makes today day 29..I'm normally a 28-30 day cycle. I took a clear blue easy test yesterday that was positive, then went that afternoon to my DR for a urine test and it was negative to my dismay. I called the help line and they said even though HCG can give you a false positive the residue from the shot should have been out of my system by now....I took another clear blue easy test, this time a digital one this morning...positive again, could the test at the drs not pick up my HCGyet? Is it to early? Help I need some advice.

HI there, I would go back to the doctor and have them do a blood test. It is more accurate than urine testing. Good luck :)
