  • Am I Pregnant?
    The only way to be sure if you are pregnant is to have a pregnancy test. There are different kinds of urine tests to help you determine whether you are pregnant. Some of these tests may not be accurate for up to three weeks or five weeks after the first day of your last normal period. Our tests are one of the most sensitive urine based tests available.

    How did I get pregnant?
    Pregnancy can result any time that ejaculate or pre-ejaculate is spilled on the vulva or inside the vagina. No matter how this happens, pregnancy can result. Conception occurs as the egg and sperm unite, creating a new human person. It is at this moment that the new person’s genetic makeup---the color of his eyes, hair and so on, is determined.

    What are the signs of pregnancy?
    If you have missed your period you may be pregnant. The time between menstruation and the next ovulation varies from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle. The time between ovulation and the next menstruation is fairly consistent (about ten to sixteen days). If you are pregnant you may experience some of these symptoms: A Missed Period, Nausea, Appetite Change, Breasts Enlarged, Breasts Tender, Dizziness, Fatigue, Frequent Urination, Weight Gain or Loss

    Can I have my period and be pregnant?
    It is impossible to have a period and still be pregnant, but you can experience vaginal bleeding that may seem like a period. However, this is rare.

    What if I had sex during my period? Can I be pregnant?
    If you have intercourse during menstruation you can become pregnant. The sperm can live for up to seven days in the cervical mucus of a woman’s vagina. In a short cycle, ovulation can occur within a few days of the last day of your period. Therefore, it is possible that fertilization can occur.
