Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
If the pregnancy tests you have been doing were correctly done, then you are not pregnant and other possibility as to your troubling bleeding pattern have to be looked at.
I will recommend, you re-do home pregnancy test with early morning urine, if its positive, then you are pregnant.
If on the contrary it is negative, then do an ultrasound to rule out Polycystic ovarian syndrome, infections and let your gynecologist follow you up.
Best regards
