YES: "Twelve days" before your expected period may have been your "fertile" phase and a menstrual period may follow WITH A PREGNANCY! ("uncommon" but not "impossible" REPEAT YOUR PREGNANCY TEST NOW! and if negative FIND a more "certain" way to obtain birth control if that's what you want! Hope this helps! Dr Z
