Possibly not: If home pregnancy test is negative, you are not pregnant. But if you suspect strongly, then i would recommend you to take a blood test.

Possibly not: Home pregnancy test are usually very accurate and if you had it negative, you are not pregnant. If you still suspect, please get a blood test.
