X-ray

Could you see a fetus on an X-ray?

There's a chance that if you're less than six weeks the X-ray wouldn't clearly show anything. If you're still concerned you're pregnant, wait a week and test again. Though if you're feeling movement like a baby kicking, you would definitely be far enough along for it to show on an X-ray. I would explore other options as to why you're getting the feeling.

Ok but I'm pretty positive you wouldn't feel them at an early stage. And I am 18 weeks pregnant a.nd i know what BOTH of them feel like and they are VERY much similar.

You wouldn't feel movements until your like 16 weeks anyways, and your "movements" your feeling is probably gas, and the pain your feeling is probably a gas bubble, I had one my tenth grade year it was so painful it sent me to the er

I know this. But the doctor at the hospital wouldn't listen to me when I told them of my symptoms of being pregnant because I had a negitive test.

All my X-rays came back fine. I have no uti no kidney infections no kidney stones but they can not explain my back pain and stomach movements like feeling

You're supposed to avoid x-rays while pregnant. The radiation is bad for the baby.
