Yes, you can be 4 to 5 weeks pregnant and test negative. This can occur due to low levels of the pregnancy hormone hCG, especially if the test is taken too early or not following instructions properly. For accurate results, retest in a few days or consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist. Clinical tests and professional advice are more reliable for confirming pregnancy.
