Hormonal imbalance: You may wish to redo the pregnancy test in 4-5 days to make sure. Use first morning urine. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx

Watch and wait: if it hasn't come in 1 week repeat the test. If still negative see a doctor
