Yes, it is possible to be 6 to 7 weeks pregnant and test negative. Home pregnancy tests detect hCG levels, which may vary. Several factors can contribute to negative results: testing too early, low hCG levels, diluted urine, or incorrect test usage. If menstruation is late and pregnancy symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for a more accurate blood test or ultrasound**. Healthcare providers can offer personalized guidance and confirm pregnancy status.
