See your doctor.: If you're late with your period, you still might be pregnant, even though your tests were negative. Likely the best time to test is about 10 days after mid cycle, when ovulation normally occurs. Some tests can detect pregnancy in about 48 hours, but it's a good idea to be sure. Given your results and no period it would be smart to see your doctor for an exam and tests to be sure. Best of luck!
