Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you are pregnant but you would need a pregnancy test to determine if this is the case.
Pregnancy tests detect HCG hormone. This can be done by blood tests or urine tests.
Most urine tests can detect this hormone by day 11 to 14.
The home tests are usually accurate.
I hope this helps
