Yes, you can be a month pregnant and have a negative test. This may occur due to low levels of the pregnancy hormone (hCG), testing too early, or using a diluted urine sample. If you suspect pregnancy but receive a negative result, consult a healthcare provider for a blood test or repeat the test after a few days for more accurate results.
