    If you've tested too early, yes. You can get a false result even though you are pregnant. I'd test again in a couple days if your period hasn't come yet. If you keep re-testing though, it keeps being negative, and still not period, I'd check with a dr to see what's going on.

    Yes its very possible. Wait a few days to a week or so, and test again. If its still negative, I would see your doctor.

    EDIT : wow, sorry justcurious, I ended up saying just what you said ;)
