Hi,
You should stop taking any medications and get a pelvic ultrasound to detect whether you are pregnant or not. As after 18 days from the date of your missed period, a fetal sac should appear on pelvic ultrasound if you are pregnant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
