No and No: So you are implying that you are 4 days late for your period and with a negative pregnancy test. In this case, you will not have a blighted ovum, as this is a type of pregnancy where, while not normal, you will have a positive pregnancy test in most cases. It might be that your cycle is delayed related to the prior miscarriage.
