Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yes 4 days after missed period is to early to detect the pregnancy as urine HCG is not high and not detected in the urine pregnancy test. It will give positive result 8-12 days after missed period. So I advice you to repeat the pregnancy test after 8-10 days at home with fresh mid stream urine sample in the morning.
But best tool are USG scan and blood HCG (more accurate than urine pregnancy test) to detect the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
