Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion urine pregnancy test gives accurate results if done after a week of missed period.It is positive usually after 35-40 days after period in case of pregnancy.I suggest yup to repeat the test after a week.And whatever the result is consult gynaecologist for further management.
