I dont think there is anything wrong with your test from the standpoint of using urine collected three hours before testing. I have done this sometimes with my monitor when I got up a little earlier than my testing time and just HAD to go. I dont think HCG would just disappear from your urine after three hours, but you can google it to be sure if you want.
I would go ahead and test though until you get your period, if you can afford it. I didnt get a BFP with my DD until I was 3 or 4 days late for AF. If you have a Dollar Tree store or a Dollar General store nearby you can get those tests that are only a dollar...think they are called New Choice at Dollar Tree and Baby Test at Dollar General. They are sensitive to 25, which is pretty good.
Maybe it was just too early for the test to pick up the hormone. So as long as AF stays away then I would retest. Now as far as the weird cramps since 1 DPO, I dont know. IF you are worried it might not be ttc related I would call the nurse or see the doc.
HTH! BFP Vibes!

if you are very sure about your O date, then i'd say it sounds like a BFN month. but some people do not get a BFP till later! so dont lose hope until AF comes (and even then, don't LOL)

the 3 hours should be fine, and make sure to not drink a lot of water either.

I agree with cb, test with some dollar tests!
