Hello madam,from the history you have given....well pregnancy should be ruled out first. ..Sometimes in very early weeks of gestation, the urine pregnancy test may show faintly positive line or will not turn out to be positive, this is because of low levels of beta HCG in early weeks of pregnancy. ...In that case you may have to wait for few days , may be 5 to 7 days and repeat the urine test or can do a serum beta HCG(blood test), where pregnancy can be detected earlier...Sometimes stress can also delay the periods....hope i was helpful to you. ..
