Yes but improbably: Urine pregnancy tests are useful but not as reliable or as accurate as a blood betaHCG test. To be sure, ask for blood pregnancy test.

Hormonal imbalance: If you did the test correctly, you are unlikely to be pregnant. You may repeat the test in 4-5 days, use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. 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. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
