How Can You Tell If You're Pregnant?

How can you tell if you're pregnant?

The early signs of pregnancy can often resemble premenstrual symptoms. So, keep this in mind:

Symptoms can give you hints, but only a pregnancy test can provide a definitive answer.

This means you can't be completely sure without taking a test.

What might the early signs be?

• Your period is late.

• Your breasts may feel swollen and sensitive.

• You might feel nauseous at any time of the day, not just in the morning.

• You may feel more tired and sluggish than usual.

• You might need to use the bathroom more often.

• Your sense of smell and taste may become more sensitive.

• You could experience light spotting or cramping.

So, what's the best way to be sure?

You can start by taking a home pregnancy test. It's usually most reliable from the first day your period is late. If the test is negative but your period still doesn't start, you can retake the test a few days later or consult a healthcare professional.
