Q: can you get a positive then negative pregnancy test and be pregnant?

: Urine pregnancy tests are more often falsely negative than falsely positive. That said, a negative test after a positive one suggests fetal loss, which does occur sometimes in the earliest stages of pregnancy. You can also test later to see if the negative turns positive, or do a more accurate blood test,
