A negative test done soon after a missed period can still be a false negative, since the pregnancy hormone takes a few days to build up to a detectable level. Spotting before your expected date, along with low energy and a mild headache, is also common with a delayed cycle caused by hormonal shifts.
Next Steps
Repeat the urine test after 3 to 4 days using your first morning urine, or ask for a blood beta-hCG test now for a quicker answer.
Health Tips
See a gynaecologist if your period still hasn't come in a week, or if you get heavier bleeding or pain.
