Maybe: Pregnancy tests will usually be positive within a few days of a missed period. If you typically have longer cycles or ovulate later in the cycle it could take a little longer for the test to turn positive. Wait a few more days then check again. See your doctor if you don't get a cycle and the test remains negative.
