At this point, a pregnancy test should be accurate since your period is now overdue.
It's hard not to stress and worry about this, but try not to until you see the doctor.
My advice is when you go to the doctor, request a blood pregnancy test. They are far more accurate and you will have peace of mind.

Edit:
I think you should also ask the doctor about birth control possibilities.

hey, if the periods are overdue means it doesn,t only means that your a pregnant. due to some problems in your health the periods will not come intime,, dont worry, just went to the doctor, and check ur total body,, including stomach,, some times may be the periods will be stopped due to some over heat......etc.

He would have just checked your urine for hcg as you're late for your period - at this point a test would be accurate.

It is possible to skip periods occassionally for reasons other than pregnancy (stress for example). As you've been to the dr's there's not a lot you ca do other than just wait for your next one to show up!
