Your body has amazing mechanisms that signal early pregnancy. If you have recently had unprotected sex and have missed your menstrual cycle, it is possible you could be experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.
Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms
While each pregnancy and woman is different, here are some common thoughts you might be thinking to yourself:
- Have I missed my period?
- I feel like throwing up.
- My breasts feel tender.
- I am getting up to pee more than usual.
- I feel a little wiped out.
- I wonder why I’m feeling so moody?
If you’re reading this, it’s likely you’ve noticed some signals from your body that have your brain asking, “Am I pregnant?”
It is also possible to still be pregnant even if you think you’ve had your period. On some occasions, you may experience “implantation bleeding,” which can result in light spotting but is not itself a period.
How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or simply had sex recently without birth control, we have helped thousands of women facing the same questions.
Pregnancy Test
The first step in determining if you are pregnant is to take a lab-grade pregnancy test, which is typically over 99% accurate in identifying hormone levels consistent with pregnancy.
As a non-profit organization, Hope offers free, confidential pregnancy tests. Those who qualify may also receive a non-diagnostic ultrasound on their following appointment to verify the gestational age of their pregnancy.
Ultrasound
Having an ultrasound not only confirms whether or not you are pregnant but can also confirm the viability of the fetus. Additionally, sonographers can measure the fetus to determine the approximate date of conception.
