Hi,
You can repeat the test again with a fresh kit and a fresh early morning sample of urine provided you are at least 3-7 days post your missed period. Please read the test after three minutes and again after ten minutes. If you do not see any positive evidence by then, you can consider the test to be negative for pregnancy. If you still suspect pregnancy, you can go for the assessment of the serum beta-hCG titres. A trans-vaginal sonogram one week after the missed period clarifies everything. Hope this helps.
