Can i still be pregnant even though test negative

I am 8 days late for my period so decided to take a home pregnancy test today which turned out negative.  Is there still a chance i could be pregnant.  How accurate are these test? Has anyone else been in a similar situation and found that they were in fact pregnant even though test negative?

YES, you CAN be pregnant and STILL do a pregnancy test and it come back saying NEGATIVE. The pregnancy hormones (that is if you are pregnant) may not be strong enough or you could simply have tested too early or you may not be pregnant at all. BUT the only SURE way to know is if you go to a doctor, request a blood test, as well as let your nurse or doctor (or both for safe measures lol) know any sort of symptoms you are having (if any). Blood tests are the most accurate way of knowing. & if there is even a chance you are pregnant, you really do need to make an appointment for your doctor because the sooner you know the better, and the more confident you can be/feel about your baby's health and correct development. All expecting mothers know that you worry about every little thing that is going on with your body and are nervous throughout the whole 9 months of your pregnancy about your baby even if the doctor assures you that everything is going good with the baby, you STILL WORRY. That is a motherly instinct that you just cant help. So like I said, the sooner you find out, the quicker you can start taking prenatal vitamins, get healthy, change anything bad in your diet, etc.... So my answer is yes, you can be pregnant and fail at home pregnancy test, go to your doctor and get the blood test done. Please! For YOU and your peace of mind and possibly your unborn child! :) Good luck to you all.

I'm five days late. I'm on birth control and take them regularly. My bf came inside of me twice and I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. Should I begin the pill on Friday like usual even if I haven't started? I don't feel different and it'd be extremely unlikely to be preggo, right?
