Check again: Most commercial preg tests are very sensitive, and if done correctly, accurate. If you think one is false, recheck. Two pregnancy tests that result in a negative= very confirmatory. At times, the first few days before a cycle start may like like pregnancy due to changing hormone levels. My advise, first recheck. The odds that two tests are both wrong is pretty low. If preg, they would show now.

Re do test: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
