While your symptoms could indicate pregnancy, a negative pregnancy test one week after your missed period is likely accurate.

However, pregnancy tests are not always 100% accurate, and there are a few instances where you could still be pregnant despite having a negative result.

1. False Negative: If you took the test too early, the level of pregnancy hormone (hCG) in your urine may have been too low to be detected. For the most accurate results, wait at least one week after your missed period to take a pregnancy test.

2. Chemical Pregnancy: A chemical pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but fails to develop properly. This can result in early pregnancy symptoms, such as a missed period and implantation bleeding, but will eventually lead to a negative pregnancy test as the levels of hCG will not continue to rise.

3. Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, such as in the fallopian tubes. This can also cause pregnancy symptoms, including missed periods and abdominal pain, but will not show up on a urine pregnancy test.

4. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid issues, certain medications or a rare condition called pseudocyesis (false pregnancy), can cause pregnancy-like symptoms even in the absence of pregnancy.

If you continue to experience symptoms of pregnancy, or if you have any concerns, seek advice from a healthcare professional. They may recommend repeating your pregnancy test, a blood test for hCG confirmation or perform an ultrasound to determine the cause of your symptoms.
