Am I Pregnant?

Early Signs of Pregnancy: What to Know

Your body is pretty incredible—and it often gives you clues when something’s changing, like the start of a pregnancy. If you’ve recently had unprotected sex and your period is late, it’s possible you might be noticing early signs of pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Everyone’s body is different, and not all pregnancies feel the same. But if you’re wondering what to look for, here are a few common early signs many people experience:1 

  • “Wait... did I miss my period?”

  • “I feel kind of nauseous.”

  • “Why are my boobs so sore?”

  • “I’m peeing a lot more than usual.”

  • “I feel super tired lately.”

  • “What’s up with my mood swings?”

Sound familiar? If you’re asking yourself these questions, your body might be trying to tell you something.

 

Can I Be Pregnant If I Had a Period?

Yes—it’s possible. Some people mistake implantation bleeding for a light period. This is a small amount of spotting that can happen when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus.2 It’s usually lighter and shorter than a regular period, and it’s one reason why it’s still possible to be pregnant even if you think your cycle came.

 

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

If you're dealing with any of these symptoms—or even if you just had unprotected sex recently—it’s smart to find out for sure. You’re not alone. We’ve helped thousands of people in the exact same situation.

 

Step 1: Take a Pregnancy Test

A lab-quality pregnancy test is your first step. These tests detect the pregnancy hormone (hCG) and are typically more than 99% accurate when taken after a missed period.

We offer free and confidential pregnancy testing as a non-profit organization. Depending on your results, you may also be eligible for a free, limited ultrasound to help confirm your pregnancy.

 

Step 2: Get an Ultrasound

An ultrasound provides more answers. It can:

  • Confirm that you're pregnant

  • Show if the pregnancy is progressing normally

  • Detect signs of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy

  • Estimate how far along you are by measuring the fetus

This is especially helpful for understanding your next steps, especially if you’re unsure when you conceived or what your options are.
