Negative blood test 12 days ago ruled out pregnancy at that time; blood test for pregnancy is a highly sensitive test and it should detect pregnancy by the time your expected period is missed. If you have doubt, you can have another test done at this time, urine test is OK, to rule out pregnancy.

Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
