Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

I find myself grappling with a classic dilemma that seems to plague many women in these discussions: Is there any possibility that I could be pregnant?
To provide some context, my partner and I typically use protection, but our most recent encounter (on April 7th) was unprotected, though ejaculation did not occur. My menstrual cycle is notoriously unpredictable—it fluctuates anywhere from 30 to 50 days—so my last period arrived on March 10th. Naturally, the paranoia has set in. Given how irregular my cycles are, relying on those standard fertility tracking apps or ovulation calculators is essentially useless for me. I have already taken five 😳 tests (Clearblue ones, which, if I understand correctly, don't strictly require that first morning urine) and they have all come back negative, with the most recent one being this past Friday. Now, I am wondering: is it physically possible for hCG levels to still be too low to register in urine? It doesn't quite pass the smell test for me, logically speaking, because a month after the fact, a test should surely show 🤷. Am I just letting my anxiety run wild here?
No.
