Hallow Dear,
Papaya causes termination of pregnancy is a myth and misconception. In fact it is a very good digestive food and should be consumed during pregnancy.
Urine pregnancy tests are reliable after about 8-10 days of pregnancy. You may repeat the test after a couple of days. Still if it shows negative results, you have following options:
1. Beta hCG tests are very specific and sensitive tests. You may try it.
2. By this time ultrasonography will give you direct visual evidence of the status of pregnancy.
If you are pregnant and do not want to continue pregnancy, there are simpler, safer and easier ways to terminate the pregnancy. Mifepristone and Misoprostol are the two medicines taken in combination is a good, reliable and safe method to terminate the pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation. However these are not 'over the counter' medicines and need to be taken only with a Gynaecologist's advice and prescription.
If you are not pregnant, take some Progesterone preparation like Deviry for 5 days with doctor's prescription. Within 4-7 days after that you will get withdrawal bleeding.
Please follow scientific methods.
Wish you best of the health,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
