Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

Home pregnancy tests give good results when performed 3-7 days after the missed period using a fresh early morning sample of urine. Tests performed earlier may not be able to detect. For an earlier and better clarification you can go for the estimation of serum beta-hCG titers.

Delayed period also is likely to happen when there is a transient hormone disturbance due to sudden weight changes, stress, infection or use of certain medications.

In the current scenario, you can wait for a couple of days and repeat the test or go for clinical evaluation. Further management can be planned accordingly.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards
Shanti.V.
