According to WebMD the only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is “by taking a pregnancy test”
How Soon Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?
According to Healthline, “You should wait to take a pregnancy test until the week after your missed period for the most accurate result.”
Should I take a home pregnancy test?
According the article “Home pregnancy tests: Can you trust the results” from Mayo Clinic “Taking a home pregnancy test can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’re not sure you can trust the results.” Know when and how to take a home pregnancy test — as well as some of the possible pitfalls of home testing.“
If you are not sure when the best time is to take the home pregnancy test and take the test too early, check the test results too soon, use diluted urine or have been taking fertility drugs or medications containing hormone
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), there is a chance the results will be inaccurate.
Home pregnancy tests including such brand names as First Response, ClincialGaurd, Clearblue, Pregmate, New Choice and Wondfo, advertise to be 99% accurate.
National pharmacies and retail stores offer generic and store brand pregnancy tests including, Walgreen’s One Step, Target’s Early Results Pregnancy Test-Up&Up, CVS Early Result Pregnancy Test and Wal-Mart’s Equate
Early Result Pregnancy Test.
All over the counter tests recommend if you think you are pregnant you should contact your healthcare provider.
