Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you had unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation there is possibility for conception.
Sometimes urine pregnancy test kits may not detect early pregnancy and can give false negative reports.
So you better go for blood test for pregnancy which can give more accurate result.
Better to take folic acid and multivitamin supplementation from now onwards.
Take care.
