well it could be but then again it may be wrong. i would recommend going to a doctor and having a test done there. you would have a yes or no answer and that would put ease to your mind. i wish you the best of luck

HPT is very rarely wrong but it could be you're testing too soon as you may have conceived further into your cycle so wait another week. The other factor that could be delaying your period is stress. If you're worrying about being pregnant or have concerns in other areas of your life then this will affect your periods and delay them. Wait another week, if nothing then do another test and if that's negative then I would make an appointment to see your doctor.
Good luck!

It could be stress because stress can cause your period to be late. You may be taking the test to early so try taking it 5 days before your period or less. I tried a test a week and a couple of days when I thought I was pregnant(Which I am) and it came out negative. I went to a clinic and it was negative. A week later I took three tests and they all game out positive.
So wait a couple more days or five days until and then try another test.

I am the same as you, age everything. i am pregnant. you should know by now and if the home test arnt working see you doctor i had a positive result on the 20th i was due on the 18th. im thinking you may be over stressed but check wioth your doctor it might be that your levels are too low for the test to pick up.

For some this will work early in pregnancy, for me it did not. It did not show positive for me until I was 6 weeks. You may not be pregnant though. Stress will make your period late and for some, like myself, it will skip the whole month. Good Luck to you

you can get false negatives, however, your best bet is a blood test to find out for sure. also what could delay your period is stress from trying to find out if youre pregnant, also any sleeping or eating changes can delay your period as well. just get a blood test done, and relax. good luck.

You are stressing over getting pregnant. Stress is one of the most common causes for late periods.

If you have other symptoms of pregnancy than you should see your doctor. It is more common to get a false negative than a false positive.
