How do you know if you are pregnant and how long have you been pregnant?
Most women determine that they are pregnant because they are sexually active and have a missed period of one month. Nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue are also common symptoms of early pregnancy. Ultrasounds and pregnancy tests are the only ways to know immediately and with certainty whether a woman is pregnant or not.
You can take a pregnancy test as early as the first day of your missed period. Before this time, the hormone level produced by pregnancy is too low to show up on the test and you may get a “false negative” result.
