Positive Pregnancy results but nothing on ultrasound

[Berdy]

I should be about 7 weeks pregnant.  I took two HPT, both positive, had a Quant blood test indicating 4-5 weeks pregnancy.   They suspected an ectopic pregnancy and that accounted for my last two ultrasounds.  My question is - is it possible to have a false positive?  The nurse said I was an anomaly, that she'd heard of false positves but never knew it to be true.  I'm not menstruating, my urine and blood say I'm pregnant, but they can see nothing on ultrasound.  What could be happening?

I just got back from the doctor and I am an emotional mess. I took two pregnancy test and was suppose to be pregnant. The Ultra Sound showed nothing :( They said it could be a chemical pregnancy or too early to tell i am leaning towards chemical pregnancy.

I took 2 home pregnancy tests 2 weeks ago and both were positive. I went to the doctors on Monday (today is Tuesday) and the nurse practitioner did not see anything on the sonogram (vaginally). So, they did another pregnancy test there, and it showed up positive. So, now Im freaking out because I dont know how far a long I am, my periods are irregular and I dont even remember the last one. Im thinking the worst but hoping for the best. She sent me for blood work, one on Monday, another on Wednesday, and another sonogram on Friday with another doctor.
Ive looked up symptoms of ectopic pregnancies, since that wasnt ruled out yet, and Im not having pain, just big time cramping.
I wish I could speed up time to Friday, and I have my fingers crossed that its just too early, and we will see something on Friday.

I ALSO TOOK A HOME TEST FRIDAY CAME BACK POSITIVE THEN HAD BLOODWORK DONE AND IT TOO CAME BACK POSITIVE, BUT I WENT FOR MY ULTRASOUND AND NOTHING SHOWED UP JUST THE THICKINING OF MY UTERUS, ANDTHE OVRAIN CYST, SO MORE BLOODWORK WAS TAKEN TODAY.  I'M SO NERVOUS AND SCARED I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I HAVE THE CRAMPING WHICH THEY SAY IS NORMAL.

I have the same exact situation you wrote about in October.  What happened with you?  
I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive this past Sunday.  Went to the Doctor on Monday, took another urine test:  positive.  Blood test: positive.  HCG level 1700.  Ultasound: nothing but a thickly lined uterus and a cyst.  
Today:  HCG level did not double.  It only went to 1900.  I am having another ultrasound on Friday.  
I was told it is either too early in my pregnancy to see anything on the ultrasound or I do not have viable pregnancy.....
Please let me know what happened with you.

some cysts can give postive pregnancy tests
its either a cyst or a miscarriage. (being that your hcg levels did not double)

Hi, i wanted to say that back in 2004 i had 2 positive pregnancy test and when i had a vaginal ultrasound done and they said it was weird that they could see my baby good because i was only 3 weeks alone and usually it takes up to 6 weeks to show the baby. I just wanted to say that if you baby does not show on the ultrasound it might mean you are before 6 weeks pregnant, but in my case i am rare. Well good luck to you all.
