Could I be pregnant?

could i be pregnant? Pregnancy test

Majority of women at some stage in their life will ask the question... "Could I be pregnant?"

Whether you want to be pregnant or not is another matter. But I would think that if you're asking the question 'am I pregnant' that you must be having one or two symptoms?

The only real way to find out if you're pregnant is of course to do a pregnancy test (and do have a spare, as they are not always correct!) Pregnancy tests are getting more advanced every day, with some of them allowing you to do the test up to a week before you even miss (or get) your period. Getting the results is also much easier, some tests now actually spell out the words - Pregnant/Not Pregnant, rather than the pink line - blue line, one line - two lines dilemma! For some women though, doing the test itself is a total nightmare and they just can't bring themselves to pee on that little stick!

Am I pregnant - The basic tell tale signs!

If you're at this minute, sitting at your computer screen and in the back of your mind you're screaming out "Could I be pregnant?" Well here are a few basic symptoms.

Implantation bleeding, you may think you have your period a week early, but if the bleeding is light or spotty, this could just be the egg attaching itself to the lining of your uterus. A quarter of pregnant women will experience this.
Morning sickness, ah yes - that nauseous feeling as you get out of bed in the morning!
Sore and tender breasts.
Headaches.
Feeling more tired than normal.
Strange metallic taste in your mouth.

These are just a few basic pregnancy signs and you may be experiencing something totally different. Some women state that they 'just know' when they're pregnant! Have a look at some more pregnancy symptoms here.

It's important to remember that getting pregnant isn't always as easy as you may think, and what you are experiencing could also be a symptom of something totally different to pregnancy. So do pop down to your local pharmacy and get a pregnancy test, or your doctor will be able to test as well.
