Usually it takes a couple of weeks before a pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy. I would say 5 days is a little too early to tell. Give it another week or so then try again.
As others have stated, a doctors blood test is more accurate, but u have to wait till 7 days after u believe u conceived.The test is called a Quantitative Beta HCG pregnancy blood test. . This blood test works by measuring the amount of HCG in your blood and is highly accurate.
You will need to ask your doctor specifically for this blood test.

its possible, some people dont find out they are pregnant until at least 6 weeks gone which is usually when youre about 2 weeks late. retest in a few days if its still negative then go to your doctor and get a blood test done.

Get your bloodwork at the doctor's office. You could be pregnant but it's not unheard of for your body to do weird things either (such as period being late)

yes blood test gives more accurate then hpt. it would be better to take urine test at hospital or clinic by consulting a best gynecologist in your local area.
