Pregnancy tests

I’m not entirely sure where to post this so I figured here?.

I’m not due for my period for another 5 days but I took a test because i was having a few stereotypical early pregnancy symptoms and I almost threw up really suddenly and publicly. When I took the test maybe two or three days ago it was negative but when I saw the box the test I had brought said “ detection as early as the day after a missed period”. Because I was a week off being due for my period I was wondering if the test would’ve worked the same?. I k ow the best thing to do would be to just wait and see if my period comes but to save me some anxiety 🙏 tia x
