Am I Pregnant?

Wondering if you’re a little late? The most common pregnancy symptoms include[1]:

  • A missed period
  • Frequent urination
  • Fatigue
  • Morning sickness (can include noon and night)
  • Sore, swollen breasts

 

Some less common signs of pregnancy include[1]:

  • Acne and/or skin changes
  • Metallic taste in your mouth
  • Congestion
  • Mood swings
  • Dizziness and headaches 
  • Increased hunger, food cravings and aversions
  • Bloating 
  • Cramping
  • Spotting

 

Pregnancy symptoms can vary from person to person and even from pregnancy to pregnancy. 

How Early Do Pregnancy Symptoms Start?

It depends. Some people start to experience symptoms days after conception, while others don’t feel anything until weeks later[1]. You should schedule an appointment for a free pregnancy test as soon as you feel symptoms.

When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?

You can take a pregnancy test as soon as you’ve missed your period. However, taking a test too soon may give you a false negative (meaning, the test claims you’re not pregnant when you are). You may want to wait at least a week after you’ve missed your period to get a more accurate result[1]
