Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

Urine Pregnancy tests may not show up early as the hormone HCG is not detectable in urine during the initial stage.If you suspect to be pregnant wait for a week and then again get a HPT done as HCG levels rise dramatically each day and then it might show up positive.
Usually Blood test is a confirmatory test and gives results after a week of missed period.Consider visiting your Healthcare Provider for evaluation.

Take Care!
