Brief Answer:
To wait for few more days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I would recommend you to wait for another 5 days to repeat the urine pregnancy test. Usually waiting for 5 to 10 days is must to rule out pregnancy by UPT.

Early UPT may be negative in the first 5 days and can get positive in case of pregnancy. Hence, do wait for 5 more days and get the test repeated.

the other possibility of missed or delayed period could be hormonal imbalance. This if progress for the next cycle too, then you might need complete hormonal evaluation and necessary management.

Hope, I answered your query.

regards,
