Symptoms : Symptoms of pregnancy can include nausea (morning sickness) or vomiting. A woman may experience pelvic/abdominal cramping as well as small amounts of vaginal bleeding. Swollen breasts, the need to urinate more often and mood swings may occur. You could also become constipated or develop aversions or cravings for certain foods. If you may be pregnant, take prenatal vitamins. Even if you can not see a doctor at this time, you can use a home pregnancy test. It is important to know if you are pregnant. Women who are pregnant need prenatal health care.

Too early to test: If your only sex was two days before your expected period, it is too early to test. You should do the home test at three weeks after the episode of sex that could have resulted in pregnancy. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine
