The only way to know if you are pregnant or not is to do a home pregnancy test on the day your period was supposed to arrive or the day after. By this time, hcg levels (tests use to detect pregnancy) should be high enough to show pregnancy if you did get pregnant.

Another way to count if you were of danger of getting pregnant is to count your ovulation period. Ovulation starts 14-15 days before your next period is about to arrive. So, you need to have a regular period in order to count ovulation days. Ovulation lasts for only 24 hours but sperm could live for 5-7 days inside the womb. So, if you had sex three days before ovulation, you are at risk of pregnancy.

But, home pregnancy tests are still the best way for a quick check.
