There are pregnancy tests you can take the *first* day you missed a period. So if you were expecting your period, and didn't get it, you can take one right now.\n\nOr there are brands such as the EPT (Early Pregnancy Test) that you can take very early in your pregnancy.\n\nHop over to your local grocery store or pharmacy and pick one up :)

There are different formulas.  The easiest one is: (LMP-7 days)-3 months.  LMP is last menstral period.  The date is at best an estimate of when you conceived and rather than add the number of months they just subtract to bring the pregnancy to 9 months.

Have an ultrasound done.  The earliest you can tell the sex of the baby is around the 5th month of pregnancy.

Did you take a blood test already?  3 weeks after intercourse could be too early to be tested positive by urine test, but a blood test will definitely show.  If you can't go to a doctor, go to the health department - they have also referral services if you have no insurance.\n\nSince every pregnancy is different you cannot go by what you experienced when you were pregnant before.  My sister for example, got sore breasts real early into it the first time, the second child whe didn't even get tender.  She gained 70 lbs. in her first pregnancy, 20 in her second....so your best bet is to go to a physician and have a blood test, that should resolve your worries about being pregnant or not for good--and if something else is going on, the physician will discover that right then too.\n\nIf you are a teen and scared to tell your parents:  you need to, because if you are pregnant you will need their help...Good Luck

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.

I'm sure that you already know the obvious signs, so I'll just get to the symptoms that aren't talked about as much. You'll be unusually tired, thirsty, your sense of smell will be sharper(usually for the worst), and you might notice a change in size of your chest, waist, and/or butt. These were the symptoms that caused me to realize that I was pregnant before taking a test, so they're pretty reliable.

There really isn't a good way to tell right away. You may start feeling some symptoms on your first day or two after sex, but many women don't until a couple weeks after conception.\n\nA blood test can give you the quickest answer (about 7 days after ovulation). Urine tests (like the ones from the drug store) take a little longer to give accurate results. They recommend waiting until the day you should be getting your menstrual period.

there are a few tell tail signs that you are pregnant, of course every one knows about the whole morning sickness thing...but that dosent always happen, The first sign is usually the missed period...but if your only a coulple days late dont get too worried yet stress can make you miss it longer. your breasts around the nipple and the side will become tender to the touch, you can sometimes get cramps in your abdominal area and in your lower back. if you have any of these symptoms you should eaither get a take home test from your local store or go to one of the many planned pregnancy clinics... most of them will give you a pregnancy test for free. if the revealing line on the test is even faintly there, it means pregnant. If you do get a pregnant or positive result on one of these tests you need to go to a doctor to get an actual diagnosis. Depending on what the doctor says will verify wheater or not you are truly pregnant.

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.

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.

Pregnancy signs and symptoms occur either at the time of a missed period, or a week or two later. Symptoms include missed period, fatigue, tender and swollen breasts, implantation bleeding, nausea and or vomiting, food aversions, frequent urination, and increased sensitivity to odors. Not everyone experiences symptoms, and some people feel some but not all symptoms. Implantation bleeding occurs a bit earlier than expected, and it is scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light). If you feel you might be pregnant, your best bet would be to see your doctor at least 2 weeks after a missed period to get a blood pregnancy test done, as this is the most accurate way of testing.

The answer to your question is: Yes.  The Home Pregnancy test works by detecting HCG in your urine.  Only when you're pregnant is HCG present in the urine.  You can be pregnant and not have enough to turn one positive.  You can go to your doctor and ask for a Beta Quantitative Analysis. It will tell you if you're pregnant and approximately how far along you are.

not sure about your actual question, but if your abdomen is growing and you feel pregnant, then you should go see a doctor and they should be able to tell you if you are pregnant or not and that will answer your question...
