Wondering if you’re pregnant? If you’re waiting to take a pregnancy test or simply want to know what to watch for, the most common indicator of early pregnancy is a missed period. However, this can be misleading if you have an irregular period or if it is simply delayed.
You don’t have to face the anxiety of not knowing or waiting for uncomfortable signs to appear. At Choices Pregnancy Center, we offer free pregnancy tests so you can get answers you can trust. Make an appointment today.
Uncovering Pregnancy Symptoms
One common sign of pregnancy is nausea or vomiting, often referred to as “morning sickness.” Despite its name, this symptom can occur at any time of day and typically begins around the sixth week of pregnancy.
Other early pregnancy symptoms may let you know that it’s time to take a test, and they include:
- Frequent Urination: As your body adjusts to pregnancy, you may need to urinate more frequently.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired is another early sign of pregnancy. The surge of progesterone in your body during early pregnancy can make you feel more exhausted than usual, even if you’ve had plenty of sleep.
- Breast Tenderness: Many women notice their breasts feel more sensitive or fuller early in pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
- Aversions to Foods: You may be more sensitive to certain odors, and your sense of taste might change.
Each woman’s experience with early pregnancy symptoms is unique. Some may experience all of these symptoms, while others might not notice any at all. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it might be time to take a pregnancy test to confirm whether you’re pregnant.
How Accurate Are Pregnancy Tests?
Most self-administered pregnancy tests boast up to 99% accuracy, but it can be beneficial to follow up to double-check.
We can also help you determine the best time to take the test if you’re worried it might be too early to receive accurate results.
While a pregnancy test can detect the presence of hCG, a pregnancy hormone, it can still be present in your body if you’ve recently experienced a miscarriage, which is why an ultrasound is a critical step.
