Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
You may do a blood pregnancy test or repeat the same test after one week. Blood pregnancy tests are 100% reliable & you can be sure about current situation. You should also plan a pelvic ultrasound to have a look at your pelvic organs.
If test is negative & no periods, please see a Gynecologist for full evaluation.
Wish you all the best.
