Thanks for reaching out to EmpowHER with your question! When a pregnancy tests reads negative, it means you are not pregnant, but I understand why you may be worried about a false negative pregnancy test.
I have a few questions I was wondering if you could answer so I could get a better idea about the situation:
Are your periods usually regular and right on time or do you sometimes experience irregularity with your period?
Do you use any forms of birth control?
Did you recently have unprotected sex or do you use back-up contraception like a condom?
If your test is showing up negative, it should mean that you are not pregnant. However, since your period is late I would recommend visiting the doctor for a more accurate pregnancy test.
Please let me know about those questions I asked above and I can get a more accurate answer back to you. I hope this has helped a little bit for the time being though!
