Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's 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.

You could repeat a pregnancy test a week after the last one just to be sure. Or have your doctor order a blood pregnancy test - if negative then you don't have to worry.
