Pregnancy hormone likely would have been detected by this time, but due to varying sensitivities of different pregnancy tests, you could certainly be pregnant. It would be wise to try several types of home tests. The first urine of the morning has the highest concentration of pregnancy hormone. You could always go to your doctor and have a blood test to be certain.

What is a pregnancy test?

A pregnancy test is a medical diagnostic procedure used to determine whether a female has conceived a child. There are two broad categories of pregnancy tests: at home test and doctor office tests. The at-home tests are pretty good, up to a 95% accuracy when used according to the instructions on the box. They are based upon a reaction with hCG (human choriogonadotropin, a pregnancy-specific hormone) in the female's urine; this hormone starts to show up within a few weeks of conception. The doctor's office tests can either be similar to a home pregnancy test or can be a blood sample test looking for hCG. In the second trimester of pregnancy, a doctor can perform an ultrasound examination and identify the fetus in the uterus.
