Brief Answer:
Serum beta hCG blood test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If your period was on 26/6/14, the chances of pregnancy are less as ovulation would not have occurred in first week of July. Ovulation would occur in second week as per your dates. Hence the chances of pregnancy are minimal.

More over you have taken ipill as emergency contraception. All of this reduce your pregnancy chances significantly.

But the chances are not entirely zero. There is minimal chance considering only if ovulation has occurred early.

Hence My advice would be to get "serum beta hCG blood test" done to rule out pregnancy. This is an accurate test to predict if pregnancy has occurred. The report of this test will put your mind at ease.

Brief Answer:
Please convey beta hCG levels to me

Detailed Answer:
Hi

If your beta hCG test has come positive let me know the value of the same.

If only home test has come positive it is nit reliable and you need serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy.
