How Common Is The Hook Effect?

How common is the hook effect ? And if I am pregnant that means I would be about 11 weeks. Could I feel movement in my stomach? I have 1 child already so this would be my 2nd pregnancy (if I am pregnant). Also, I had a blood pregnancy test and it came back negative. However, the veins on my stomach are turning really dark, I am still light headed and dizzy at times, and I have this fluttering feeling in 2 different spots in my stomach like I have to babies in there just moving around. Is this possible or is it just in my head?

First thing if your blood test for bhcg is negative then you are not pregnant. Secondly fetal movement perception starts around 18 to 20 wk pregnancy. So you are not pregnant.
