I'm 8 days late but i took a hpt a day before my missed period & it came out negative & i haven't taken 1 since then can i be pregnant?

Maybe. Maybe not.: A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.

Repeat the test: today: if negative you are not pregnant, if positive....well, you are. Good wishes.

Possible: If you had unprotected sex since your last period, it would be prudent to repeat hpt. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
