Will a hpt test show negative if pregnant and bleeding?

It depends on the timing of the bleeding and the sensitivity of the pregnancy test. If the bleeding occurs very early in the pregnancy, before the hCG levels have risen high enough to be detected by the test, it is possible that a home pregnancy test (hpt) may show a negative result even if the woman is pregnant. However, if the bleeding occurs after the hCG levels have risen, a home pregnancy test should be able to detect the pregnancy, regardless of whether the woman is experiencing bleeding. If a woman experiences bleeding and a negative home pregnancy test result, it is recommended to repeat the test in a few days to confirm the result, or to see a doctor for a blood test to definitively determine if she is pregnant.
