Wondering whether you’re pregnant can feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing various emotions, sometimes all at once.
Getting clarity begins with taking a pregnancy test. The Open Door provides free pregnancy testing and can offer an ultrasound following a positive result.
What Are Common Pregnancy Symptoms?
While many women experience pregnancy symptoms, others may have none at all. Additionally, specific symptoms can reflect other health conditions, hormonal imbalances, and more.
These are common signs of pregnancy:
- Missed period
- Nausea (with or without vomiting)
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Bloating
- Cramping
- Constipation
- Nasal congestion
- Food aversions
- Moodiness
Regardless of whether you have symptoms, taking a pregnancy test is your next step. It can provide a path forward amidst uncertainty.
Waiting several days after a missed period or a few weeks after sexual intercourse is an ideal time to test for pregnancy. At this point, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels rise rapidly during those first weeks.
Taking the test first thing in the morning when hCG levels are most concentrated can also improve your chances of receiving an accurate result. If you receive a negative result but are unsure if it’s accurate, waiting several days and taking another test can provide more clarity.
While pregnancy tests are accurate if taken correctly and at the proper time, they can produce false-negative or positive results. For example, false-negative results can occur if the test is taken too early, while false-positives can happen if a pregnancy loss occurs and hCG levels remain elevated in the body.
