Not if negative: If the pregnancy test is negative and you repeated in 1 to 2 days and it still negative then you are not pregnant.

You are not pregnant: If a pregnancy test is negative, you are not pregnant. The tests are quite accurate. It is normal to have superficial veins visible through the nipple.
