Has anyone else had a negative ANA test and still ended up with lupus? If so, how do I convince my doctor to perform a different type of test?

I had a negative one two years ago when I was having symptoms, symptoms continued and I just got tested again this year and it cane back positive and than they did further testing finding low c3 c4 so I would keep asking to be tested at least once a year because I know I was gettinh the symptoms two years ago but it didn’t show until now
