Answer
If two pregnancy tests were negative, it is doubtful that she is pregnant. If you still have doubts, take two blood tests for pregnancy (Beta HCG)  twice, 48 hours apart. If there is a doubling of the results in 48 hours, it indicates a viable pregnancy. If both values are less than 5, she is definitely not pregnant.
