I missed my period by a week and a half and I am going to get a test but I was wondering if anyone knew of quick signs to tell if you are pregnant. I lost like 10 pounds this last month so I was thinking it could be due to that but I am still concerned about it. Thanks!

someone already gave a very thorough and good answer. But If you just lost a bunch of weight, then that certainly could do it.

But if you think you might be pregnant, then perhaps you need to get on birth control to prevent having to stress about being pregnant in the future. there are lots of new birth control methods that are very good now - the vaginal ring, the patch, the IUD. The last one is the best, I think, b/c you put it in (the doctor puts it in) and then you don't have to worry about pregnancy for 5 years. If you want to get pregnant before 5 years, they can take it out at any time and you can get pregnant in the next month.

Also, it is better to know the sooner you are pregnant, b/c then you can deal with it - either take prenatal vitamins and stop drinking/smoking or get to a clinic to find out about your abortion options.

Good luck!

Well I know when I was only just pregnant I had heightened nipple sensitivity, but that also happens right before my period too so that might not apply here - if you havent had unprotected sex, especially during your most fertile time (2 weeks after your last period) then it could very well be your sudden weight loss....but if in doubt, take a test and relax because stressing over if your pregnant or not will not help matters.

It would be better to take a test and get the wondering over with! There are a wide variety of physical changes when a woman gets pregnant - aches and pains, tenderness, appetite changes, mood swings. Ha, during both pregnancies my sense of smell was so acute there were tons of people I couldn't stand to be around! I was also very clumsy. Honey, there are just so many different symptoms that you'd be better off to get the test.

Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.
