Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.I suggest you to repeat the test after a week.If the test is negative the chances of pregnancy are rare.And wait for spontaneous onset of periods for 10 or 15 days days.Sometimes even stress regarding the thought of pregnancy or any other also causes hormonal imbalance which might cause delay or irregular periods.So relax. If there is no spontaneous onset of periods consult gynaecologist.If irregular periods continue they need to be evaluated.
