Pregnancy tests..: Pregnancy tests are very accurate. So, you are probably not pregnant. Could check another test to be sure.

Trust the test: The first step is to repeat a home pregnancy test. They are quick, reliable and easy to do. If the test is negative then you are not pregnant. In that case you can monitor the cycle over the next few days and schedule a visit with an obgyn to discuss. If the pregnancy test is positive then you will need to see an obgyn soon to be evaluated.

Probably not: The over the counter pregnancy tests are quite accurate. Of course the most accurate test would be a blood test.
