Dear Messed Up Pregnancy Test for 15 year old,
I would talk to your mother about it and asked her to take you to the Pregnanct center to get tested again maybe they can find out the truth but if you are afraid to tell your mother than find someone you trust that is 18 or older to take you to get tested

Home pregnancy tests are RARELY ever wrong when they show up positive, to the point that the "false-positives" are practically non-existant. There are so few cases of a home pregnancy test showing up positive but being wrong (although, many of them do show negative during a pregnancy). Reasons for them showing up positive, but the woman NOT being pregnant, would be:
1. A tumor of the placenta with death of the fetus
2. Ovarian cancer (and other types of cancer in some cases)
3. Blood or protein in the urine, which can interfere with the result
4. Use of medications to prevent seizures, drugs to treat Parkinson's syndrome, or phenothiazine drugs, such as chlorpromazine, by the mother
Because home pregnancy tests are manufactured in large quantities and test your urine, which is fairly unstable on a day-to-day basis, they can show false-negatives easily. Many are actually not as sensitive as they'd like you to believe because they are mass-manufactured like they are (which is, most likely, why your first test didn't show anything). Home pregnancy tests for the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), in your body that distinguishes pregnant woman from non-pregnant women. This hormone can take weeks to be built up into the body and usually cannot be detected before 8 days AFTER conception (when the baby actually imbeds into your urine wall). Usually it can show up two days before your period if you're lucky though.
The reason why you take the home pregnancy test in the morning with your first urine is because the urine has been in the body longer and has more of a chance of containing the hCG hormone if you're early into pregnancy and enough has not accumulated yet to test throughout the day.
Women do not get pregnant the same day of intercourse, believe it or not. After you have sex the girl actually does not instantly become pregnant--it can take days before the sperm find and fertilize the egg and then another 6 - 10 days for the egg to actually attach to her uterine wall. Sperm can live in her body for a long time--they've even been some found alive in a woman 2 weeks after being ejaculated inside of her!
This being said, it could take WEEKS to actually become pregnant after one sexual encounter. Kind of scary, isn't it?
This being said, it could take WEEKS for enough hCG to accumulate within the body to show up on an OTC urine home pregnancy test. This is why false-NEGATIVES are extremely common.
Just because a home pregnancy test says negative (no pregnancy) does not mean it's right. Some show false-negatives so it's BEST if you actually have a doctor run a pregnancy test by taking some blood. Chances you're actually pregnant? My guess would be 99% since the test showed positive. Why the 1% unsure-factor? Because if you have an early-miscarriage (even days within becoming pregnant you can miscarry and not know it) then you may actually have that "false" positive--but you were pregnant, certainly.
Make the appointment with the doctor and have some blood drawn for a test to be certain you're pregnant.
For note, condoms are only about 85% effective on preventing pregnancy and not effective at all on preventing STD transmission. You should probably request a full STD test as well as the pregnancy test.
Hope all goes well and happy motherhood! :) If you have further questions then please feel free to ask me directly!

I agree with NinjaNeer, there's no way to tell if you're truly pregnant until you see a doctor. Google 'Planned Parenthood' and figure out if there is one close to you, if there is go to it and get a pregnancy test. They range from 5-10 dollars and will give you an accurate result. If there isn't one near you, either buy 2 more pregnancy tests and try those, or talk to your mom about seeing a real gynecologist. They can for sure tell you if you are or are not pregnant.
It is both possible that you are and are not pregnant. Anytime a guy is inside of you without protection can lead to pregnancy. If you are comfortable enough to talk to your mom about this subject, talk to her about going on birth control. It isn't 100% effective, but it will definitely ease your mind if something like this were to occur again.
Good luck! <3

It is possible that you are pregnant, or that you got a false positive.
Make an appointment at a Planned Parenthood or at your doctor's office. Let them know that you have received a positive and a negative on home pregnancy tests, and they'll do a more accurate one for you.
Good luck!
