Are hospital urine tests more accurate than home pregnancy tests?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew how accurate hospital urine pregnancy tests are?  I would only be 9 days past conception and I have the symptoms of pregnancy ie: nausea, heartburn, fatigue, bloated, and tender breasts that are lactating.  I went to the hospital with another matter and had them do a test that came back negative.  I just don't know if I should believe it or not!

It is still early, and hospital tests are as accurate (urine) as home pregnancy tests depending on the sensitivity that you'd purchase.

Only 9 days past conception is asking a lot of sensitivity from a urine-based pregnancy test.  I have not heard that hospital urine tests are any more sensitive than the early-results kind of home tests.  Wait until day 14 and test with first morning urine using an early-results test.  Good luck!

i was a week late when i went to have a test done. i had already done a home test and got BFP, but the nurse told me that their tests are just the same, maybe less accurate, and sure enough it was negative.
i went back to following week and it was +

my urine test in the hospital showed negtive but i had already taken home pregnency tests and they showed positive so i told the doctor about that so they took a bllod test and found a postive hormone hcg so dont always pay attention to the hospital urine tests the blood tests count
