Answer
Dear Yvonne,

It is possible to have a false negative pregnancy test. The best time to do a test is one week after your missed period. Because of this, and because of the fact that you have 3 children and know what being pregnant feels like, I am going to say that it is possible that you are pregnant. However, I cannot say for sure so I recommend you wait a few days and then go see your doctor to confirm.

Take care,
