If you’ve recently had sex and your period is now late, you could be pregnant. A late period is usually one of the early signs of pregnancy, but a change in your menstrual cycle can happen for many reasons. Are you experiencing any of these other early pregnancy symptoms?

Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Every woman’s pregnancy, just like every woman, is unique. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms immediately, while others don’t experience any for several weeks or even months.

The Mayo Clinic lists the following as some of the early signs of pregnancy:

  • A missed period
  • Tender, swollen breasts
  • Nausea with or without vomiting
  • Increased urination
  • Fatigue

Other symptoms they list include:

  • Moodiness
  • Bloating
  • Food aversions
  • Light spotting or cramping

Many of these symptoms can also be related to other health issues. For instance, your monthly cycle can change if you’re stressed, have increased your exercise, or have a hormonal imbalance. Nausea could be the onset of the flu, and increased urination could be a urinary tract infection. It’s time to find out for sure.

Get Free and Confidential Pregnancy Services

To verify your pregnancy, come to PCS Health for free pregnancy testing and a limited ultrasound. We’ll help you get the information you need.

Even if you’ve taken a home pregnancy test, confirm your results with one of our tests. Some over-the-counter pregnancy tests are more sensitive than others, so taking them at the right time in the right way is vital.

It’s critical to get a limited ultrasound for more information. Experts estimate that 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage. It’s entirely possible to get a positive pregnancy test within days or weeks of a miscarriage.

An ultrasound also reveals how far along you are in your pregnancy. Plus, you learn the location of your pregnancy. Although rare, some pregnancies form outside the uterus, which is a dangerous, life-threatening health issue.
