Suggest Possible Tests To Confirm Pregnancy

Hello, I'm an 18 year old girl who took part in unprotected sex last month on the last day of my period. My partner ended up finishing up while we were still going at it, and I went to the pharmacy and took the next choice morning after pill 8 hours after the accident. I bled for about two weeks off and on after I took the pills, and now, nothing. I expected my period about a week ago. I've taken four pregnacny tests over the course of two weeks (Ones that you can buy at any store), and they all test negative for pregnancy. I'm going to the gynecologyst on tuesday for a regular check up, but I'm worried I might be pregnant. I don't know how accurate those at home tests are.

OBGYN,  's  Response
The chance of becoming pregnant by a single intercourse on the last day of the period is quite remote, for practical purposes nil.
Furthermore, the next morning contraceptive pill has fair success.
Moreover, your urinary pregnancy tests are negative repeatedly. Of course they become positive only few days after the periods are missed.
The whole picture and the situation suggests that you are unlikely to be pregnant.
The intermittent bleeding you had for about a fortnight was probably due to the hormones in the contraceptive pill. Because of such bleeding, now your periods are postponed. Also the stress of possibility of pregnancy may delay the menses.
