I think I might be pregngant. :(
That's not a good thing, because I just got out of a silly relationship...
I need to know some at home signs to find out if I'm pregnant.
Don't say missed period either.
My sister just had a baby, and she had her period for the first 4 months of pregnancy.
It runs in my family to have a period even while being pregnant.
So, other than missed period, how can I find out?
Besides tests, I don't want to spend money to get one... I'm saving my money to move this week sometime...

You could chart your temps for the next 18 days and if the temps stay high for all 18 days, as in above 97.5 or so, then you could very well be pregnant.
Usually during a normal cycle you have low temps (97 to 97.5 ) after your period, then you ovulate and your temp spikes up and stays up (usually about 97.5 to 98.4 - approximately) until you get your period, when it starts fluctuating and eventually goes back down as you near the end of your period. Women who chart know that once they have 18 high temps after ovulation it means they are pregnant. This would be a so-so way for you to do it since you don't know what your normal temps run. Some women have very low pre-ovulation temps and their post ovulation temps are in the 97.2 to 97.9 range or so. But charting WOULD tell you if your periods are true periods or not, since you should see the temperature differences around ovulation. If you're pregnant your temps shouldn't fluctuate much since you're not ovulating. Hope this wasn't too confusing! Goodluck!

Do you have a womens clinic in your city or town? They might do a test for you for free. Good luck.

The symptoms vary so much from woman to woman. You can never tell for sure that way. There are missed periods, sore boobs, nausea, being thirsty.. all of which can be symptoms of something else.
You dont want to spend the money for a test well unfortunately that's the only way to know for sure.. I believe planned parenthood will give you a free test.

Unfortunately, pregnancy symptoms are much like PMS so you will need to pay to have the test. But if you wait until after your missed period ( I waited a week after my missed period), you will get a more accurate result and won't have to buy more than one test.

The signs are deceiving since sometimes they are confused with just having PMS. Dollar Tree has $1 tests and they work. I'm 22 weeks pregnant!

The dollar store sells tests for a buck!
If you are trying to save money, having sex is a bad idea! Sex leads to pregnancy. Pregnancy leads to medical bills and babies!

You really don't have a choice if you want to know the truth. The dollar stores sell cheap ones, you either have the hormone or you don't...even the cheap tests can do it.
Good Luck either way

Early pregnancy- I started the need the use the restroom ALL the time, I was feeling sickish in the morning and late afternoon, you may feel more tired the usual, you may be very emotional at times or all the time, your desire to eat may greatly increase! I hope this helps!

You can go to a crisis pregnancy center and get a pregnancy test for free.
