May be too early: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.
Practice safe sex.

Doubtful: I doubt that you are pregnant with your pos menses and neg HPT demonstrates that. But if in doubt you could see your doc and have a blood test done.

No: The presence of an actual period means that you are not pregnant. A home pregnancy test would be accurate by the time you took it.
