Normal: A pregnancy test will be positive as soon as the first day of your missed period. For accurate testing, the first morning urine should be used. You can repeat the test with a different brand if you want to double check. The initial signs of pregnancy are breast tenderness and enlargement, nausea and dizziness. At your first visit, they will do an transvaginal ultrasound to see the gestational sac.

More info is needed: There may be a few different explanations for a positive urine pregnancy test at "4 weeks PP": if you were not breast feeding, if you ovulated 4 weeks after a term delivery and had unprotected genito-sexual intercourse, a new pregnancy is one possibility. A false positive test is another possibility as well as "some retained trophoblastic cells".Ask for a blood betaHCG level and a pelvic sonogram
