I am 5 days before my menstrual cycle. i took hcg blood test and it was <1 (negative). this probably means i am not pregnant correct?

Maybe: Depends on when you last had unprotected sex, and when you took the blood test in relation to your cicle, and if the test is from a reliable lab. The chances is pretty good you are not pregnant but I wonder why you jumped to a blood test before your mentral cycle is due?
