Do a blood PT: You need a blood bhcg, if neg could be form other hormones being not right or other pronblems, your gyn can figure out what is going on when you see your gyn or a gyn, they will do an exam, blood work and ultrasound.

Blood HCG: If you had sex since your last period, get a blood test for HCG level to settle the issue of pregnancy.
