If you are sexually active and have missed a period, you might be pregnant. Common symptoms of early pregnancy include nausea, breast soreness, and fatigue. You will need to take a pregnancy test or have an ultrasound to be sure that you are pregnant.
When can I test for pregnancy?
You can take a pregnancy test from the first day you missed your expected period and onwards. Before that date, the level of hormones produced by the pregnancy are too low to show up on the test and you might test negative even though you might actually be pregnant.
How to calculate how long have you been pregnant?
Your pregnancy can be dated using the first day of your last period. Use this calculator. If you are unsure of your last period or your periods do not occur every month, an ultrasound is the most accurate way to date your pregnancy. Remember, because pregnancy dating is done based on the first day of your last period, you will be farther along than the date you became pregnant by about two weeks.
