Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. 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.

Not likely: Probably not. Since you did still have somewhat of a period with bleeding and you are following up with typical period symptoms, I would be very very surprised if you were pregnant. I think the chances are very low. if, however, you end up having unprotected sex and miss you next period by a week or more, take a home pregnancy test and then reassess. Best wishes to you.
