The box should demonstrate what a positive test looks like. If you are at all unsure, you should retest in several days. Over the next couple weeks, the test should become frankly positive if you are truly pregnant.

If you had sex since your last period and missed a period, you may re do the home test in 4-5 days, use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. As an alternative you may get a blood test for HCG level.
