Current medical status: pregnancy 4 home tests possitive 1 doctors test positive but blood came back negative
Current medical treatment: none

A blood pregnancy test is more accurate than a home (urine) pregnancy test. It is possible that the embryo died but the womb didn't expel the embryo (missed abortion) and then the blood pregnancy test became negative. You need to repeat the blood test and also need an ultrasound scan to locate the embryonic sac in the womb, if present.

You should consult a gynecologist about this.
