If your period is late, your breasts feel sore, and you are sick to your stomach, you might be pregnant.
There are many common early signs of pregnancy you can check for as an initial indication you might be pregnant. Here are some of the most common:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, especially all at once, you might be pregnant. The only way to know for sure, though, is to take a pregnancy test.
Although it’s temping to take a pregnancy test as soon as your first suspicion settles in, it’s better to wait at least one week after your missed period to take a pregnancy test.
This is because when you’re pregnant, your body produces the hormone hCG, and the amount produced doubles every 72 hours for the first part of your pregnancy.
If you take a pregnancy test too soon, your body may not have produced enough hCG to show up on the test, giving you a false negative.
Instead, you should wait and get a more accurate result.
