Home pregnancy test: A home pregnancy test can reliably tell you whether you are pregnant or not; the test looks for beta-hcg in your urine. B-hcg is only secreted by a fertilized egg or a placenta.

Use a pregnancy test: The definitive way to know if you are pregnant is to use a pregnancy test. However, there are signs and symptoms that some women will note when they have concieved. Breast fullness and tenderness is common, as is fatigue, urinary frequency, headache, constipation, and pelvic cramping. Morning sickness (nausea) is also very common, and of course missing your period is likely after conception.

Home pregnancy test: There are various brands of home pregnancy tests available at your drugstore for testing your urine, and they are quite accurate. You can then go to your doctor for a blood test if you wish. The various symptoms of early pregnancy-missed period, nausea, fatigue, urinary frequency, breast tenderness-can be very suggestive but cannot be relied upon consistently.

Pregnancy test: Pregnancy tests you can get over the counter are quite reliable. You can go to your doctor's office and have it run also if you want to be sure. Nowdays, blood tests are not any more accurate except it can provide the actual hormone level.

Take: A pregnancy test after you have missed your period. They are very accurate. If it is positive then you are pregnant. If it is negative and you are late you are not pregnant.
