I missed my period. Am I pregnant?
Can you answer yes to one or more of these statements?
Every woman, no matter how careful, can have a pregnancy scare. You wake up one morning not feeling quite right and then remember that you were supposed to start your period a few days ago. You haven’t had any signs of your period and now begin to get a little worried. Could you be pregnant?
A night of unprotected sex, the condom broke or you didn’t think you could get pregnant. No matter the reason, it’s possible you might be pregnant. For many, the signs and symptoms of pregnancy are clear, but for some they may experience no symptoms or just a feeling they might be pregnant.
If you have any of the most common pregnancy symptoms below, it’s possible you might be pregnant.
Other symptoms to consider might include:
It’s true, some of these symptoms can be explained by other causes, so it’s important to understand if they are due to pregnancy or something else.
Most women will run to the store and purchase a pregnancy test (or two or three). Sometimes the results are clear and undeniable, but other times they might leave you confused.
To confirm whether you are indeed pregnant it is important to use a medical grade pregnancy test. We provide medical grade urine testing for FREE. There is no cost to you whether the pregnancy test is positive or negative, and we can answer any questions you may have with honest and current information. The test is simple and all you need to do is provide a urine sample. Our tests are looking for the hCG levels in your urine that produced when a woman is pregnant. These levels can be detected in the urine approximately 12-14 days after conception. If you know the last date of your menstrual period you can also use our online calculator to help narrow down your dates.
