A basic, over-the-counter pregnancy test is the most accurate indicator of pregnancy available. Also, physical changes may indicate the early stages of pregnancy. Not all women have these early changes, nor does having one or more symptoms do not necessarily mean you are pregnant.
But knowing common indications can help you understand the changes you may experience in the dawn of a pregnancy.
Recognizing the Signs
1. Consider your actions. Obviously, you need to have had $exual intercourse to get pregnant, although not necessarily penetration. Did you have $ex without a condom? Did a condom break? Did you forget to take your birth control pills? If you did things that put you at high risk for pregnancy, that will play a huge role in determining if you are pregnant.
However, if you used protection and took other precautions, you probably are not pregnant. The failure rate of most protection options are very low. Not zero,but low.
☛ “Pulling out”, however, is not an effective birth control method.
2. Notice when you’ve missed your period. Some women track their cycles, and some don’t, so you may not notice that you haven’t had your period until a little while after you’ve missed it.
☛ Think back to the last time that you had your period. Attach the timing of your period to an event. For example, were you menstruating when you went on a vacation or when you went to a concert? If you haven’t had a period in more than 30 days, and you’re $exually active, then you could be pregnant.
☛ If you have an irregular period, then you should test for pregnancy often if you are $exually active. This is especially important if you drink alcohol regularly, smoke or use recreational drugs so that you don’t harm the fetus during the first trimester.
3. Look for implantation bleeding. If you had a small amount of bleeding or spotting at the time your period would normally happen or before or after when your period normally happens but your period did not occur at its normal time, you may have experienced what is called implantation bleeding. This is a sign of pregnancy.
