| I think you both need to go back to the doctor and get blood tests and complete physical. |

| I think the best thing for you to do would be to go to the doctor and request a beta HCG blood test (which is what they detect pregnancy with.) sometimes it is harder to detect pregnancy through the urine until you are further along. with the blood work they look for a specific level of hormone so it is easier to give you the yes or no answer you are looking for. it takes one day for the doctor to get the results back so the process is fairly quick. |

Five days is not really considered late in the medical field because there are other things such as many different stressors that can cause even the most regular woman to be late. Hcg only shows up in the blood at 1 week of gestation at a level of 5 - 50mlU/ml. So many times that still goes missed.
Try taking another test using first morning urine in another week, if that still shows negative you need to make a doctor's appointment to find out exactly what is going on. |

| I know it is hard to wait (I have been there 4 times), but unfortunately all of pregnancy is just a waiting game, isn't it? |
