    If you period is two days late, you are testing too early. Wait a week and test again, and carefully follow the directions.

    OK I just tested because the test that I bought it said you could test up to 5 days before your miss period but I will wait a week and test again thanks

    You can "test" early but often still get false negative readings, you really need to wait one or even two weeks past the missed period for best results with any of the tests.
    Seldom do you get a false positive, but false negative are fairly common early in the testing

    Give it some more time, as was stated. Some women will get a positive result in the few days before a period is due, but most will have to wait until the period is missed. Some will have to wait several weeks after before a positive shows.

    When you read the first test, did you read it within the time frame stated on the test? Be sure to do so when you test again as reading it after can sometimes show a result that looks like a faint positive.
