I might invest in a better test... false negatives are certainly more common than false positives with HPTs. And at this point you should be able to detect your HCG levels with an early pregnancy test. Give it a day or two, though: in early pregnancy, HCG levels double every two days, so it's very possible you might get a negative and then a positive a few days later, especially if you ovulated late.

How soon can I test? Well, first you gotta know how the test works. Briefly: the home pregnancy test (HPT) works by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG.) When an egg is fertilized, it takes about 6 to 12 days to implant in the uterus, and then it begins to secrete hCG. It takes another day or two for enough hCG to build up and make its way into your pee. So, generally speaking, the earliest you can expect a positive HPT is 8 days past ovulation ("DPO") and the latest would be about 16 DPO. It is possible to get a positive test earlier or later, but not as common. In my experience, if you use a sensitive "early" test (anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG or less) you can test around 12-14 DPO and feel reasonably secure with your results (the later you test, the more secure you can feel in its accuracy.)
If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

Maybe you dont need to wait because the EPT early response can detect pregnancy like a couple days BEFORE your missed period. Just read the box carefully. But either way, You should definetly get a more expensive test. Goodluck ;-)

I would test again, I seen somewhere that a lot of the dollar tree tests were giving faulse results. Try a cheap walmart brand or something. But give it a day or two.

First things first, Do not put a price on a test. Get a real test. It may cost a lot more money but their much more reliable. Be sure cause if you are and you don't know it, it can be very bad for your unborn child.

To be on the safe side I would wait another week to make sure you have enough hcg levels in your system. I know a week can seem forever but you want to make sure you don't get a false negative. Good luck girly!
