It took 5 more days before a home test came back positive. I went back to the doc and got a positive result. I am now 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and my stomach is growing rapidly. Also, with my 2nd pregnancy I had spotting 8 days before my period was due for 3 days and skipped my next period. It's called implantation spotting (if you didn't know) and is common during the time of implantation. My other 2 pregnancies I did not have the spotting. Wait a couple of days and test again or visit your local health unit. Most of them do tests that are very accurate.
