Unlikely: At this point in testing unlikely the test is wrong. However, never hurts to wait a week and check again. Although pregnancy very common cause for missed periods it is not the only one. Stress, excessive exercise, hormonal issues all possible. I do think you should see a provider to explore the issue.
