Am I Pregnant?

Morning sickness, fatigue, cramping, nausea, headache, constipation, mood swings and sometimes even a little vaginal bleeding, all of us have heard of such symptoms of pregnancy from our elders. Signs turn into almost reality, when you miss a period. These signs are definitely worth-considering, but many a times it could be due to some other problem thriving in your body. To find out if you are pregnant, it’s better to have the pregnancy test done. You can easily verify pregnancy at home, by following the steps provided below.

• Purchase a home pregnancy test and select the one with two tests per box to double-check your results.
• To have the test done, wait till you miss a period or 2 weeks after you believe you conceived.
