If you’ve noticed changes in your body, you may be wondering, “How do I know if I’m pregnant?” A missed period is often one of the first signs, but it can also result from stress, weight changes, or hormonal changes. Symptoms alone cannot tell you whether you’re pregnant.
Other physical symptoms of pregnancy can include tiredness, tender breasts, nausea, bloating, and frequent urination. These pregnancy symptoms vary from person to person and can resemble premenstrual symptoms or illness. Some women experience several symptoms, while others experience few or none.
Taking a pregnancy test is the first step toward getting answers. If you’re wondering how early you can tell if you’re pregnant, timing matters: pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG, and taking a test too early can produce a negative result even when you are pregnant. Life Forward offers a free pregnancy test and support to help you understand your next steps.
After a positive test, a medical professional can assess whether an ultrasound is appropriate. Learning more about confirming your pregnancy can help you understand the role of testing and ultrasound. An early ultrasound can also help determine how far along you are and estimate your due date.
You don’t have to navigate these questions alone. Life Forward provides confidential consultations, pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds following a medical assessment, education, and support at no cost. Call or text 513.961.7777 to schedule an appointment.
