A member asked:

Is it possible for a woman to be 9 weeks pregnant and still get pregnancy test negative? why is the hcg low in some women?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Natural variation: While HCG levels vary widely in normal pregnancies, pregnancy test would be positive at 9 weeks. If it is negative on a properly done test, then you need to have evaluation to test the viability of pregnancy.
