Blood test

Michelle? • I have a 3 year old son and just got my bfp for baby #2!!!❤️❤️❤️
So I went to the dr yesterday and got a blood test and it was negative. My dr emailed me and said it was negative but that it could take up to three weeks to change and be positive, so that if I still don't get my period to come back and test again. Is this true? I thought negative blood test after missed period meant not pregnant for sure? Anyone else have this happen?
