Yes, it is possible to be 4 weeks pregnant and still test negative. At-home pregnancy tests measure hCG levels, which may not be high enough to detect at such an early stage. If you suspect pregnancy, consider waiting a few more days and testing again, or visit a healthcare provider for more accurate testing.
