Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the pregnancy might not be possible with negative pregnancy test.
There is a possibility if the test is wrongly done or interpreted.

Atleast the test might be weakly positive but not negative.

The urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.

And the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea,vomitings,increased urination,sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period.

If at all the urine pregnancy test is negative repetition of test after a week might be done.

The blood HCG test is accurate.So you can consider to do it.The HCG level more than 5 suggests the presence of pregnancy.

It is always better to go for blood HCG test when urine pregnancy test is doubtful.

Trans vaginal ultrasound is also confirmatory and can be done.

In order to tell if there is pregnancy or not the investigations like repeat urine pregnancy test or blood HCG and ultrasound are necessary.

So relax.Avoid stress.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
