OTC pregnancy tests are effective most of the time, but not definite all of the time. The best way to find out is have a blood test. While you are there, ask for a standard STD screen, you'll be glad you did. If you are too embarrassed to go the the family doc., there are plenty of clinics that will help, even at no- or little cost. Planned Parenthood is one of many. Check the Yellow Pages.

They are reasonably accurate but even a positive result needs to be checked by the doctor. See your doctor for a blood test to check everything out. Those symptoms can also be related to stress, espeially if you think you're pregnant!

There's no really accurate way to tell without a pregnancy test.  One missed period is not a definitive answer.  Pregnancy tests tell you if there is a specific hormone (hcg) in your urine, which signifies that you're pregnant.  The only other way to find out without being tested is just to WAIT!  If you are concerned, I recommend you buy a home test...they're not too expensive.  Make sure you follow the directions.  Even those are not foolproof, the best thing to do is see your doctor.

You need to see a doctor,  the home test could verify your pregnant but a doctor knows more of what to look for.\nDo not worry,  just see the Doc.

You can be pregnant AND have your period, the most you can get is spotting which is self explanatory.\n\nIf you've been pregnant for a month, a pregnancy test should show it. To be sure, you can get tested at Planned Parenthood. It's free in many locations.

You might need to take a pregnancy test.  You can still have a period and be pregnant.  But don't freak out!!  Take a test, if it's negative, wait a month and see if you get your period again.  If you do, you are probably not pregnant, but another test wouldn't hurt.  You can buy a test pack with two tests at Wal-Mart pretty cheaply.  It's true that you can get food cravings around the time of your period too.  If you are having unprotected sex, though, you might want to consider ways to protect yourself from pregnancy and STD's so that you won't even have to think about whether or not you're pregnant, and just go with the flow.  A condom is a cheap way to help prevent pregnancy, and you can get some free ones I'm sure at your local OBGYN office or planned parenting center.  My thing always was, am I ready for a baby, the responsiblity and the pain of labor?  No?  Well, I'm ready for contraceptives.  The pill is really cool, and easy to take nowadays.  Can you talk about this with someone you trust?  It's important to have a friend or parent who can help you with these big ole decisions.  Good Luck, and don't freak out!

Your first sign of pregnancy may be a missed menstrual period. Other early signs of pregnancy, caused by hormonal changes, include: \n\nFatigue. \nBreast tenderness. \nIncreased urination. \nFullness or mild aching in your lower abdomen. \nNausea (morning sickness) with or without vomiting.

Nausea and fatigue are also signs that your period is about to come. Have you had unprotected sex with in the last 30 days? If so I would take a pregnancy test just to make sure, and follow up with another one in 2 weeks if the results are false. If the second one says its false you aren't pregnant. If you are having unprotected sex please visit your local planned parent hood, or see your doctor, for discrete sex counseling and advice on different birth control methods and help find one that is right for you. You can also purchase over the counter foams and gels to help protect your self, But remember that they do not protect against STD or AIDS.

There is only one way to know for sure.  Take a pregnancy test.  If it turns out you are not pregnant, thank your lucky stars and get on one of the many forms of birth control offered to women these days.  Don't be stupid and keep having unprotected sex.  If you are pregnant, please don't abort.  If you can't take care of it and give it everything a baby needs, please give it to a couple who will lavish it with all the love a baby deserves.  And then get on birth control so you don't make the same mistake twice.  Learn a valuable lesson from this which ever way it plays out.

I really doubt that you are pregnant but stranger things have happened.  If your period started, just shortly after you had sex, you were already past your fertile period.\n\nWait about a week and do a home pregnancy test...follow the directions exactly.  If you are still worried, see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test.
