Am I Pregnant?
Am I Pregnant?
Missing a period, especially if you always had regular menstrual periods, is a significant event, so naturally the next question that follows is, "Am I pregnant?” Pregnant women have no menstrual period. But not every woman who misses her period is pregnant. A pregnancy can be detected mainly by a missed period and through different ways such as typical pregnancy symptoms, and early positive pregnancy tests. Another way to detect your pregnancy is by taking our "Am I pregnant?" quiz, and the online pregnancy test (OPT). Many women start having typical pregnancy symptoms shortly after ovulation which they attribute to being pregnant. These typical symptoms may include increased appetite, weight gain, nausea, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, and other symptoms commonly attributed to typical pregnancy symptoms. You could be pregnant if you had sex during your fertile days, you are having certain pregnancy symptoms, and especially if you missed your period.
The chances of being pregnant rise dramatically if you are not using birth control, but it is also possible to get pregnant even if you are using birth control, especially if you are not using it regularly or exactly as prescribed. Many women start having typical pregnancy symptoms before they miss their period and before they have a positive pregnancy test and they ask themselves "Am I pregnant?" But many women who are not pregnant may also experience these symptoms because they want to be pregnant and they are trying to be pregnant.
