Brief Answer:
You can go for repeat test.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you once again.
You can go for a repeat home urine pregnancy test as if it is negative after 15 days of your missed period, you are not pregnant.
A home urine pregnancy test if done correctly, it is 96% effective.
So this is for more confirmation only otherwise if your previous test was negative, this time it is also negative.
Hope it is useful.
