Positive Tests, skeptical Dr?

I guess this starts by saying my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about nine months now. I'm 23 and have never had a sunburn except once when I was on heavy doses of antibiotics 5 years ago for wisdom teeth removal. Well I got a heck of a burn yesterday and I had planned to have some wine last night. A nagging thought had me going to get a test, as my only thought behind the burn was a change in my hormone levels.
I bought the two pack of clear blue plus, the first one came back positive but, I had dipped it into the toilet after urinating on it (thought it was supposed to turn pink and missed it or something, apparently) I was worried this caused a false positive (with some reading I've learned they're very uncommon) I took a second test regardless a few hours later, also came back positive. So I made an appointment today. Dr asked me about symptoms and I realized... Aside from the sunburn, I don't think I've had any. No nausea, tenderness, etc. I've had mild mini almost period like cramps the last 3 or so days (last period was 4 weeks ago) and my sense of small could be a bit off but hard to tell. He seemed very skeptical about my pregnancy results as I've had no symptoms.
It's been a stressful month so I expected a later period I guess.
Basically I'm looking for some insight, does it make sense to get two positive tests a day after your period is due, but have like no symptoms?
Thanks

Re: Positive Tests, skeptical Dr?
Congrats on your pregnancy, and see a new doctor if you can since I wouldn't wanna deliver with that one. Lol

And on a side note, though I highly doubt your positive results are false, blue dye tests are more likely to give a false positive than pink dye tests. First Response is a brand of pink dye tests (I can't remember any others right now, just how frustrated I was trying to figure it out at the store in the beginning).
I say congrats!
