A member asked:

How can you tell for sure that you're pregnant without taking a test or seeing the doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No sure way: There is no "sure" way to know. A simple home pregnancy test should be able to tell you. A missed period might be an indication but it is not a "sure" sign of pregnancy.
