Yes, it is possible to bleed and test negative while still being pregnant. Implantation bleeding can occur early in pregnancy, and home pregnancy tests may not detect the pregnancy hormone (hCG) yet. If you suspect pregnancy despite a negative test and bleeding, consult a healthcare professional for a more accurate blood test and further evaluation to confirm your condition.
