It's little difficult to advise on how to get positve hpt, as positive hpt is possible only if you are pregnant.
how to get healthy baby, little bit I could say.
Last pregnancy was conception right after miscarriage, perhaps that was not a right choice. You must have waited 2-3 cycles.
Yes, with the history of what happened in June 2005 you can have 50% chances of healthy pregnancy. To boost chances for the same, eat nutritious, prenatals and don't stress out too much.

If you are not getting period repeat test in 48 hours with first morning urine and hopefully it will turn out positive.
If you fail to get positive test by next 3 repeats spaced 48 hours gap contact gynec.
I am certain you will have healthy baby.
