Yes, a home pregnancy test can show negative even though you are pregnant (false-negative). This can occur when the test is not used properly, such as morning urine or taken too soon, before the hCG hormone is detectable.

That is why it is recommended that you confirm the results of a home pregnancy test with you Physician or Healthcare Provider. He/She will apply a blood test, which is more sensitive to the hCG hormone.

Premenstural tension has symptoms such as yours, however. This would make more sense of your symptoms, rather than being pregnant.

If you think you might be pregnant and are bleeding, you should immediately go to your local Hospital Emergency Room. Pregnancy and bleeding is often a sign of a threatened miscarriage.
