Hello,
Wellcome to HCM
The pregnancy could not ruled out.
The urine beta HCG test could be performed 10 days after the missed periods.
Beta HCG test for blood can detect the pregnancy even before the periods are missed.
Beta HCG tests are significantly good to detect pregnancy. However there could be a false negative result. So it is advised to repeat the test after 2-3 days.
