Testing is scary, but the sooner you know the sooner you can explore your options. Do a bit of research and see if there are free services for young people in your area - then you can get tested and not have to be alone. They might even have a counsellor if you need to talk.
You can get advice and information on ending the pregnancy or carrying on - either way, it's best to see a doctor or nurse as soon as you can.
If you aren't sure when your period is due, you can always test now. If it is negative and your period hasn't arrived in a week, test again. It takes time for the hormones to build up. Tests are also most accurate first thing in the morning.

I think if you mean your 3-4 weeks pregnant, testing right now may come back positive.
