OK, well, please don't go mad. If there's an excess of thinking going on, it might be better to apply it to something constructive, like investigating your options should you be pregnant, your options to discover whether or if you are pregnant, and how and when they are effective, your feelings and options as regards having a baby, this baby, any baby, and basically treating this as a life event - it doesn't have to be a life changing event, but it may be.
Pregnancy is what nature designed you for: if you're going to run scared of that, you might as well run scared of breathing: it doesn't mean 'get a grip and have a baby', it means appreciate that you're an adult (dare I hope), nature gave you a brain and the means to cope not only with life, but with raising a life, so this is clearly within your capability.
Once you appreciate that, then you can further appreciate that you have a long way to go before you even get close to having a baby, and that right now you're in the perfect position, if you can think and act responsibly, to deal with this with the minimum emotional distress.
In other words, the sooner you stop panicking, the sooner you'll be able to deal with this appropriately, and the better you'll feel.
Catch-22? Maybe.
Want someone (else) to fix this. Bad luck - you're a grown up. Society may not agree, but nature clearly does: so take a step back, deep breath, and start investigating and planning, and taking control of your future, instead of being afraid of it.
Tests are generally effective around the first day of your missed period: check the manufacturer's spec.
If it shows negative, then nothing's going to happen until either the test show's positive, you have a period, or the baby shows.
Use the time proactively, as millions of mothers, young and old, have done before you, and you can deal with this: either keeping it, or deciding that now is not the time. It's your right, but right now, you're going to have to suck it and see.
Wait. Think. Plan. Act.
... and go see your doctor or clinic.

... btw, the 'am I pregnant' msgs are beginning to blur - I note you're 31 -so good, adult, and frankly, at that age, I'd have to advise you to seriously consider taking a second deep breath, and some serious contemplation. A scary inconvenience now could be a deeply felt loss, never recovered, in ten years time. Ask, read, discover, and decide whether this is a nightmare or a gift.
Some of my closest and dearest and most successful friends-couples were precisely in your position - unwittingly pregnant in their thirties - and nature took a hand and gave them a nudge to tie the knot. That may not be you, but don't discount what nature might be asking you to consider. You can always say no.
