HI!
From the information you have given me, it sounds like you may have had what we refer to as a chemical pregancy.  That is a pregnancy that is only detectable on a test for a day or two before a very early miscarriage occurs.  In many cases these pregnancies are never even suspected and are just chalked up to a late cycle due to stress.
If your test is negative now, you will probably have a period soon.
If you were my patient, I would probably check a blood test (quantitative hcg) just to be sure we weren't missing something.
Good luck!

Thank you and I have a miscarriage be for and I have not had any signs of that what so ever and if I get stressed my period would always come early and not late. I have been feeling like butterflys all over my tummy a lot. I took a first responce pregnancy test last week on wenesday and have not had and blood come out or nothing that has to do with a miscarriage
