Don’t guess.: Take a test.  they are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  if you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Buy a test kit: Toothpaste and urine do not tell you if you're pregnant. Only a home pregnancy test that you purchase can tell you if you're pregnant. Toothpaste only works in the mouth brushing teeth. The home pregnancy tests have specific indicators that react with the urine of a pregnant woman and that's how the tests work.
