With : With two negative home tests the chance of pregnancy is low. You can rule it out further with a blood test. In all likelihood you have not ovulated. Your body is waiting for a signal of the Progesterone from the follicle that released the egg during ovulation. If you haven't ovulated, the uterus just waits. We often use Progesterone like medications to trigger a period in these instances after pregnancy has been ruled out.

Pregnant? home test-: If you are sexually active, you can always be pregnant, regardless if birth control is utilized. You should either repeat your test or see your doctor about your missed period.
