A positive pregnancy test result and later, an ultrasound which shows the developing fetus confirm a pregnancy.
During pregnancy the cells that form the placenta produce the hormone hCG. Levels can be detected in blood as early as 11 days following conception and in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception.
Though I can appreciate your desire to have an immediate answer, you will need to wait. If you do not get your period in two weeks, wait a few days, and take a home pregnancy test. If you can remember when you had unprotected sex, count ahead by two weeks and test.
