What did the test's directions say? How long after your missed period were you supposed to wait to take the test? A week should be enough time to get an accurate result, but if you don't get your period in two or three days, take another test or go see your doctor. It is also possible that you did the test wrong, which is common. Did you follow the directions exactly? Take it with your first morning urine? Not wait too long to read the stick (the lines can fade)?

Are your periods normally irregular? Has this ever happened before? Are you using any kind of birth control?

Most pregnancy tests advise taking the test with first morning urine. If you are late for your period, feel it may be pregnancy related, you could visit your doctor for a blood test.

Most urine tests would be accurate now.

It wouldn't hurt to go get a blood test from your OBGYN. Have you started on prenatal vitamins? It's usually advised to start before you get pregnant. That may be another reason to go in, if you haven't already.
