Pregnancy test : She needs to have a pregnancy test right away. It will tell you immediately whether or not there is a pregnancy--whether normal, etopic, spontaneously aborted, etc. If it is positive, she needs a blood test and ultrasound right away to evaluate the status and viability of the embryo. If it is negative but her "symptoms of pregnancy" are severe, she should also confer with PCP or OB/GYN.
