Hi there,
My opinion after reading your question is:
1) A home urine pregnancy test comes positive only 2 to 3 days after a missed period at its earliest.
2) If you want to know sooner, you can get a blood test called serum beta HCG which can give positive results by 3-4 weeks.
3) Watch out for symptoms of pregnancy like vomiting, nausea, breast tenderness etc., but they are not reliable signs of pregnancy.
4) My suggestion is that you wait till at least till 1st and then get a urine pregnancy test. Till then, just sit back and relax and let nature take its course. If you are really anxious, you can take the blood test mentioned above right now.
I wish you all the very best for your pregnancy.
