Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pregnancy tests are accurate if done 11 to 14 days after conception. They detect the level of HCG hormone. If you did the test in this time period , it is likely accurate.
If it was done before this time frame, then you can consider repeating it to get a confirmative result.
There are other causes of delayed period that can be considered if the test is truly negative such as: (1) emotional or physical stress or illness
(2)inadequate diet
(3)abnormal thyroid hormone levels
(4)abnormal levels of a hormone called prolactin
(5)polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Evaluation for the above requires physical examination, blood tests and imaging. You can consider visiting your doctor if pregnancy result is truly negative.
I hope this helps
