Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
Sometimes, the ovulation is delayed, the conception is delayed and hence the urine pregnancy test comes positive a bit delayed.
I would suggest you to get a repeat urine pregnancy test done after one week and if negative, then do consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated.
Hope you found the answer helpful.Wishing you good health.
