Too Early: Sensitive commercially available urine pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy p to 4 days prior to your period due date. Thus, it is too early to test this way. You should wait until your period due date to test or have a blood test. If you do test and it's negative, and if you miss your period, you should retest in a week.
