Unlocking the mysteries of early pregnancy involves understanding the remarkable signals your body sends. If unprotected sex is recent, and your menstrual cycle is amiss, the chances of experiencing early pregnancy symptoms are significant.
Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms
While every pregnancy and woman differ, familiar thoughts might cross your mind:
- Did I miss my period?
- I'm feeling nauseous.
- My breasts are tender.
- Why do I suddenly take frequent trips to the bathroom?
- I'm always tired.
- Why am I having mood swings?
If these thoughts are running through your mind, you're probably picking up on the signals your body is sending and wondering, "Am I pregnant?"
It's noteworthy that pregnancy might still be a possibility even if you believe you've had your period. "Implantation bleeding" can occasionally occur, leading to light spotting, distinct from a regular period.
How To Find Out If You’re Pregnant
If you're encountering these symptoms or recently had unprotected sex, numerous women facing similar uncertainties have found guidance with a pregnancy test and ultrasound
