Q: Pregnancy or miscarriage?

My last menstral cycle started March 26, 2009, it was pretty normal from what I can remember. I had a feeling I was pregnant with all normal pregnancy symptoms I had experienced in my past pregnancy so I took a home pregnancy test on April 22, 2009 which came up positive ( Digital clear blue easy early pregnancy test to be exact). My girlfriends suggested I take a few more just to be sure so I purchased a first response early digital test and an accuclearr early pregnancy test, the first response came up saying yes and the accuclear showed a very dull second line. I do not have health insurance at the time so I made an appointment to go to a women's clinic to confirm the pregnancy and take the next step. This was April 24, 2009 and to my surprise my results from the clinic were negative. I was baffled because 3 home pregnancy tests came up positive. She suggested I reschedule a testing for Monday April 27, 2009, preferably morning, so I did so. In the meantime since I was so confused I took 2 more home pregnancy tests on the 24th, and both came up positive. I had no doubt in my mind I was pregnant and there must have been something wrong with the clinics test. I went back monday morning and my pregnancy test showed up negative again, she gave me a over the tummy ultrasound which she said showed no pregnancy at all. I think she thought I had lost my mind and I was making it up! Again I took another home pregnancy test after the clinic which showed up positive, I am so confused. I have missed my period, haven't had any signs of bleeding or miscarriage...I have light cramping but I did as well with my first child ( Which was a completely normal pregnancy, vaginal delivery). I have a few questions...Why would 6 home pregnancy tests show up positive if there weren't a pregnancy? How could a home pregnancy test pick up hcg hormones and not a doctors office test? Could it be possible I am pregnant and the ultrasound wasn't accurate? Could it be posible my body is producing pregnancy hormones without a pregnancy? I am really nervous about this whole situation, would it be wise of me to seek a second opinion of someone else, even though I do not have insurance, or do you believe it could be a miscarriage and I should just wait it out? Also, if you believe it were to be a miscarriage and I should wait it out what symptoms should I be concerned about to the point of seeking medical help? Thank you so much for your time, my family and I are absolutely baffled by this and clueless on what to do next if anything.
