A member asked:

If i started my period, and had been having pregnancy symptoms previously, should i still take the test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Definitely: If you are unsure about pregnancy status, or are trying to conceive is always fine/safe to check a test. The pregnancy-symptoms people experience are very non-specific, meaning many different things can cause them (other than pregnancy).
