can you find out if you are pregnant up to two weeks before a missed period?

Exactly what ummed said.  2 weeks before your period, an egg could be fertilized, but would not implant for some time after... I don't even know that you'd be producing hCG (hormone tested for in pregnancy tests) until implantation, but I may be wrong.

A test is the best way to find out, or go to the doctor. There are really no true signs to being pregnant until you are farther along. Some women never get sick, and some stay sick. Some women may even have their period for the first few months of pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy Symptoms\nPregnancy Symptoms can be confusing at times since tender breasts can indicate early pregnancy. It can also be a sign of an expected menstrual period. A missed period is usually an early sign of pregnancy, but can also be skipped after a stressful time in one's life. Putting symptoms together and taking a home pregnancy test can help to put this confusion to rest. One of the first pregnancy symptoms is usually a missed or late menstrual period and is the first indicator that a woman is pregnant, although some women claim to know they are pregnant before they miss a period. More symptoms listed below: Tender swollen breasts are another one of the early symptoms. While tender breasts are a symptom of an impending menstrual period, enlarged breasts are not. Sore and swollen breasts with a tingling sensation can be an early indicator that a woman is pregnant. \nNausea associated with morning sickness can be a tell tell sign that a woman is pregnant. Many women suggest that they've had nausea up to two weeks before an expected menstrual period and before any other symptom. Eating crackers before getting out of the bed in the morning can help with morning sickness and eating several smaller meals instead of larger meals can help with nausea related to morning sickness. Extreme fatigue can be another indicator of pregnancy, especially if other symptoms are present. One or two naps per day can help a pregnant woman maintain normal daily activities.Frequent urination in pregnancy usually occurs between 6 to 8 weeks after conception.

Try Planned Parenthood, they do tests that you pay for there on your own and it's all confidential.  There are many early signs of pregnancy and it's different for all women so it's hard to tell you for sure if you are preg or just making yourself believe you are.  Breast tenderness, nausea, extreme hunger, extreme thirst are all signs also.  A missed period is not the best way to tell b/c some women go through their entire pregnancy with a period.  Go get checked though b/c it might be something worse.

They have tests now that can tell a few days into the pregnancy.  Symptoms for me were cramps that went away missing my period, followed by very sore breasts, and then at 6 weeks came the morning sickness, which wasn't in the morning for me but came in the late afternoon when I would be thinking about what to make for supper.  Go out and buy a test.  They are reasonable and pretty accurate.  Good luck.

If you had sex during ovulation, it is a very good possibility.  Your best bet is to wait at least two weeks after a missed period and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing.

There is a definitive blood test that your doctor can order called a Beta Quantitative Analysis.  This test is very affordable and it will tell if you're pregnant and approximately how far along you are.

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.

Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy \nPregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.\n\nImplantation Bleeding:\nImplantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. \n\nOther Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.\n\nDelay/Difference in Menstruation:\nA delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test:\nOther Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.\n\nSwollen/Tender Breasts:\nSwollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.\n\nFatigue/Tiredness:\nFeeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception. \n\nOther Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.\n\nNausea/Morning Sickness:\nThis well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.\n\nBackaches:\nLower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.\n\nHeadaches:\nThe sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.\n\nFrequent Urination:\nAround 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom. \n\nOther Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.\n\nDarkening of Areolas:\nIf you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.\n\nFood Cravings:\nWhile you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Usually two weeks after a missed period is the best time to be tested.  A blood test is the most accurate way to determine if you are pregnant or not. Menstrual irregularities can also be caused by stress, infection, medications, and hormonal imbalances.

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.

A prenancy test should be accurate approximately 12 days after you had sex.  A full period is very uncommon to have when you are pregnant.  Slight spotting is more common and can be called "implantation bleeding".  Think about when you had sex and add 12 days, take a test and it should be accurate.  Hope that helps.

Yes.  You can still have a period after you've gotten pregnant, although generally it will be lighter or shorter in duration.  If you're still concerned that you might be pregnant, try an over the counter pregnancy test kit, but wait until your period has stopped before using it.

My periods were late by 15 days last month but I am not pregnant. Generally my cycle is pretty regular. The odds of three pregnancy tests being wrong are slim, but there is a minuscule chance.

Unless for some reason it's normal for you to miss your period, It is never normal to miss your period. Don't freak out though unless it's been at least a week since when you should have started. Even then, it could be other things. If all else fails, get a pregnancy test or see a gynocologist.
