Am I Pregnant?

It’s Important to Know the Signs

Any time you are sexually active, there is always a chance for pregnancy. Many women assume that using forms of contraception will prevent pregnancy; however, it is not 100 percent effective. Knowing the first signs and symptoms of pregnancy is very helpful in determining if you should take a pregnancy test.

Classic Signs & Symptoms of Pregnancy

  • Fatigue

    A quick rise in the levels of progesterone during early pregnancy may contribute to this tiredness.

  • Missed Period

    If a week or more has passed without your expected cycle starting, you might be pregnant. If you have an irregular menstrual cycle, it may be normal.

  • Tender/Swollen Breasts

    As hormone levels increase, so does blood flow and fluid retention causing your breasts to feel swollen and tender.

  • Nausea

    Morning sickness often begins early in pregnancy. However, some women may never experience it.

  • Increased Urination

    The amount of blood in your body increase during pregnancy. This causes your kidneys to process extra fluid which ends up in your bladder.

Other Signs & Symptoms

  • Bloating

  • Light spotting

  • Moodiness

  • Food aversions

  • Cramping

  • Constipation

  • Nasal congestion
