False positives aren't that common with the home pregnancy tests, so you can most likely trust the results you've gotten. I think you mentioned in another post that you're still close to the first missed period date, didn't you? If that's the case, you're not going to be able to see a whole lot on an ultrasound yet--maybe the amniotic sac and a yolk sac. From what I understand, a lot of doctors don't even do ultrasounds that early on unless there's something in the mother's medical history that they feel justifies it. A lot of the women in the birth clubs I was in on BabyCenter didn't have their first ultrasounds until the 20-week anatomy scans. Have you started taking prenatal vitamins yet? That's something you can do to help your body as it works to grow that little person.

My periods are irregular... when I had my first kid they had to do a ultrasound and found out I was only 3 weeks. I did start prenatals as soon as I got the second positive result.

I"m sure you feel anxious and what to know one way or the other but I think those pregnancy tests are pretty accurate
