Yeah it usually is. Some people take even longer to show up.

two weeks should have been fine.  but... Did u use your first morning urine?  If not, your urine sample could have been diluted, causing a false negative.  You should  use first morning urine, or wait at least 4 hrs between pees.  Don't drink a bunch before either, or that could dilute it too.

Sometimes af is delayed for unknown reasons.  Stressing about it could put it off too.  

Relax.  Take another test in the am.  Good luck!
