Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
The first sign of pregnancy is missed period.
Other symptoms of pregnancy are nausea,vomitings, increased urination,sore breasts which start 2 weeks after missed period around 6 weeks of pregnancy.
The pregnancy is confirmed by doing a urine pregnancy test,blood HCG test and ultrasound.
The blood HCG test detects the pregnancy early than all others right before missing the period around 10 days after the ovulation.
The urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.
The ultrasound detects the pregnancy around 5-6 weeks and helps in knowing the status of pregnancy.
So in case there is missed period I suggest you to go for a urine pregnancy test.
The cramps,sore breasts can be present even in premenstrual phase so the test helps in diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
