.?ectopic pregnancy?: You might have an ectopic pregnancy(pregnancy/implantaion outside of the uterous), which can present with a missed period, abdominal pain, and nausea.

?Pregnant?: It's not clear to me if you had urine or serum pregnancy test. If still no menses i would suggest serum HCG test as urine HCG tests are usually accurate 6-12 days after ovulation but due to fluctuating HCG levels it can take up to 4 weeks in some people to stabilize. Also if you do repeat with urine pregnancy test use urine after you wake up first thing in am. As this has most concentration of hcg.

Can repeate HPT in : A week if no period still.
