Yes: Do a blood pregnancy test for absolute confirmation.

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 pregnant: If your pregnancy tests are repeatedly negative that means you are not pregnant and there must be some other cause of your symptoms.You should check with your gynecologist.
