If a pregnancy test is negative, it may be either true or false.
If you have tested before your period is due, the test may be inaccurate, because the levels of hCG will not be high enough in your urine yet. You have to wait until your period is late, or else get a highly sensitive pregnancy test that you can use 5-7 days before your period is due.
If your period is very late and you do a test that comes up negative, chances are it is incorrect, and you should go to your doctor to have a blood test.
If your period shows up, generally that means you're not pregnant. You can test again after your period is gone if you really think you might be. Some women get period-like bleeding or spotting in their early pregnancy, and this bleed can often be mistaken for a normal period. However, this isn't generally the case. Again, you should go to your doctor if you think you may be pregnant and bleeding, as this can be a sign of something more serious.
