Hi. to confirm your doubts, you can perform a urine pregnancy test at home..if it comes out to be positive ,you should remain cautious regarding radiation exposure-no xray or ct scan esp, ultrasound and mri are safe.
You should get a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm the viability and location of your embryo if upt is positive.
In the first 3 months generally any medication or contrast agent etc should be avoided because this is the period of organogenesis and may interfere with the organ formation in baby..folic acid tab once a day should be started if pregnancy test positive..
