Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes its too early to do a urine pregnancy test. You can repeat the test after few days. Usually UPT becomes positive after 7 days of missing period. Delayed periods can also be due to stress or hormonal disorders (PCOD, Thyroid disorder, Hyperprolactinemia etc). You can confirm pregnancy now by doing a blood test - serum beta hcg. Take care
