A pregnancy evaluation will confirm if you are pregnant. Pregnancy tests can tell if you are pregnant at about ten days after your first missed period.
Pregnancy tests look for the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine or blood samples. HCG is only found during pregnancy when it is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg implants.
Symptoms of pregnancy may include:
- A missed period
- Nausea
- Tender swollen breasts
- Fatigue
- Increased urination
- Vomiting
