Brief Answer:
repeat urine test after 48 hours.

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Your anxiety is justified. Occasionally women have this problem of delay in period in absence of pregnancy.
This is a normal phenomena and no need to worry.
Please repeat the urine pregnancy test preferably in morning again 48 hours of last test. If Still negative then you can take tab Primolut-N one tablet thrice a day for 5 days to induce a period.

Please write back if you have any more queries.
Thanks
