Is one week enough to know if you're pregnant?

No it's not. Your body won't be producing enough HCG to trigger a positive. A blood test MAY pick it up...but it probably won't be high enough to officially declare it a pregnancy

Preganancy test is the best way to find out early. If you are concerned about cost. You check the Yellow Pages for your nearest Planned Parenthood. They will test for free or a low fee.\n\nOther early physical signs: Your breast and nipples become larger and more sensitive. If it is your first pregnancy your nipples generally become darker. You may find yourself tiring more easily and needing midday naps. \n\nBut if you feel you are pregnant, you really should get a test to know for sure. It is always best for you and your baby to start prenatal care as soon as possible

If you had sex two weeks ago you can take a pregnancy test now to ease your mind, as you've passed the time when implantation of a pregnancy would occur.  To answer your question about when your period should come, it's hard to say because your cycle is now off due to your starting and then stopping the patch.  But it really doesn't matter, since a pregnancy test at this point should be accurate; if you have a real reason to believe you might be pregnant (i.e. the sex you had was unprotected), you might as well take a test.

not really; \ntake a pregnancy test if you believe you might be pregnant... the first response test its supposed to detect the pregnancy hormone a week or so before your first missed period.

3 1/2 weeks since? Thats only 24-25 days... most people's cycle is 28 days... ? \n\nAre you experiencing any pregnancy symptoms?\n\nIt doesn't sound like you are... your period (depending on your cycle) should be coming within the next week.

sometimes the "symptoms" of pregnancy can feel exactly like the "symptoms" of a period. mood swings, bloating, tiredness, junk food cravings, headaches. It really just depends on your body. If your 4 days late you can go ahead and take a pregnancy test just to ease your mind.

The pregnancy test called "First Response" is highly accurate and very sensitive.  It can detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone, Beta HCG almost immediately following conception.\n\nI'll note, however, that the line for a positive might be quite faint at the early stages and could easily be seen as a (false) negative.\n\nThe best test at this stage would be a blood test (check women's clinics) called "HCG qualitative".  That would be absolutely accurate.

Most of the home pregnancy tests available now will give an accurate result 4 days before your next period is due. So if your period is due Nov 6th then you can take the test now and it should be accurate.

The ovulation symptoms would have been about  2 weeks after your last period.  You can take a preg. test the first day of your missed period.

Sometimes pregnancy tests will not show up positive (even if you are pregnant) if you take it too soon after you got pregnant.  If I were you, I would wait at least 7 to 10 days after the last time you had sex and take another test.  Generally, drinking a lot of water would NOT affect the results of your pregnancy test.

okay calm down... in order to really tell if you are pregnant you must wait at least 4 weeks after sex. or wait 4 weeks after your missed period. if you wore a condomn the chances of getting pregnant are at least 98.8percent or not very likely. the signs of pregnancy are similar to menstrual periods. breast tenderness, stomach pains, nausea, headaches ect.  if you find you have missed a period you can check for infections, or stds, or pregnancy good luck.

4 to 7 days after you missed your period to diagnose the pregnancy.

You won't have any symptoms until later. If you feel anything, you are just worrying too much, you'll start to feel real symptoms after around 4weeks if you did get pregnant, like feeling sick and missing period. \n\nWait till your next period is due, then buy a pregnancy test kit from drug store/pharmacy.

One day I was very nauseous and after exhausting every other reason for why I could possibly be feeling so awful, I decided to take a pregnancy test. There it was...positive! You still have the same symptoms...you don't need a missing period to figure it out.

not necessarily since periods can be very irregular. many things can influence your regularity - stress, diet, exercise, sleep patterns etc. if any of those have changed dramatically it can throw your system out of whack. even illness can alter the timing.\n\nhowever, if you are having unprotected sex then, yeah, you could be pregnant. if you still don't have your period in about another week then pick up a home pregnancy test. you can find inexpensive, reliable ones at drug stores, department stores, even some grocery stores. make sure you follow the directions to the letter or you could end up with a false positive or false negative.\n\nif the test comes out positive you'll want to get to a doctor asap to confirm it and discuss your options. planned parenthood is a great place where they can test you and answer all your questions. they operate on a sliding scale, so if you don't have much money then the services are free, or very cheap.
