Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you had unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation and think that there is possibility of pregnancy better go for blood test now.
Because sometimes urine pregnancy test kits may not detect early pregnancy and blood test can give more accurate result.
Meanwhile you can take symptomatic treatment like antacids, ante-emetics etc.
Take care.
