Unclear: Not sure what is meant by a false pregnancy (molar pregnancy, blighted ovum, HCG cross reactivity).

Maybe: A truly negative HCG test result (that can be confirmed on a blood test a few days later) means a person was not pregnant. Whether or not she has a false pregnancy depends on her other signs and symptoms.
