Yes, it is possible to be 5 weeks pregnant and get a negative blood test. Early pregnancy levels of the hormone hCG can vary, and if the test is done too early or not sensitive enough, it might not detect the hormone. If pregnancy is still suspected, it is advisable to repeat the test a few days later or consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
