Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.
There are chances of you being pregnant inspite of negative pregnancy test.Home pregnancy tests are based on the HCG-Human chorionic gonadotropin levels that rises as soon as you become pregnant.It has to reach a definitive level for pregnancy tests to be positive.

It will show negative results only if you are still in early pregnancy.So,i would suggest you to take one more home pregnancy test after about 10 days to confirm.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you
