I'm sorry it took so long to respond.

To answer your question, 6 days would be a little soon. These articles might help you in knowing about taking a pregnancy test and when would be the best time to take one.

You might want to wait a bit, and if you need to, take another test. The biggest reason for a false negative is taking the test too soon.

I know I'll probably sound rude here, and I'm sorry, I'm not trying to...

But, if you read the instructions on the test, it says to wait until three or four days before you're supposed to get your period for accurate results. But, it's better to wait until you actually do miss your period...

So, ya, I'd wait a bit and test again.

Hello...yeah, you need to wait a bit longer. Usually after the first day of your missed period. I know I'm sounding repetitive. But any time before that can result in a false negative. If pregnant, your body creates the HCG hormone, which increases after your missed period. Please keep us posted and continue to come back!
God bless,
Tracey
