Am I pregnant? Take this quiz to find out if there’s a chance you could be expecting a baby
Wondering if you could be pregnant? It’s hard to switch off from it once the seed has been planted. Every twinge or new symptom seems to suggest you could be. But what if you’re just reading into things?
Take this “Am I pregnant?” quiz to see whether there’s any chance that you may have conceived. It won’t give you a definite answer — the only way to get that is to take a pregnancy test after a late or missed period or visit your doctor — but it will help take you through some of the key factors in determining whether or not you might be pregnant.

Sex without protection is essential for conception, but remember, it always comes with risks of transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Make sure you’re only having unprotected sex with someone you trust and who you know gets tested regularly.
If you’re using longer-term birth control, it’s unlikely that you are pregnant because the efficacy rates of these contraceptives range from 91% upward (depending on how “perfectly” they are used). No contraceptive method is 100% effective, which means that there is a small chance you could get pregnant while using birth control if you have sex during your fertile window.
If you’re pregnant, you won’t have a period because your uterus doesn’t need to shed its lining. However, you might be taking this quiz before your period is due, in which case it’s too early to know whether you’re pregnant or not. If this is the case for you, it’s best to come back and take the quiz again once you know if your period hasn’t arrived on time.
Breast swelling or tenderness is a known symptom of pregnancy caused by a surge of hormones.
Nausea and sickness are common signs of pregnancy, occurring in up to 94% of pregnancies. Pregnancy sickness generally starts before 9 weeks of pregnancy, and for most people, it goes away by 14 weeks.
It’s common to experience fatigue in the first trimester of pregnancy, thanks to hormonal changes and the demands of creating and circulating extra blood to supply the fetus.
Change in appetite is a known symptom of pregnancy. This can mean anything from the onset of cravings to new aversions toward certain foods or a noticeable increase or reduction in appetite.
Urinating more often than usual is known to be a symptom of early pregnancy. It can happen because the increased amount of blood in your body can cause your kidneys to process excess fluid, which ends up in your bladder. It’s also worth noting that frequent peeing — if accompanied by pain or a burning sensation — can be a sign of an STI. Make sure you see a doctor if this is what you’re experiencing.
In the early stages of the first trimester of pregnancy, some people experience bloating and excess gas. This is linked to an increase in the hormone progesterone, which can slow digestion.
To find out if you are, you’ll need to take a pregnancy test. It’s recommended that you take a pregnancy test the day after your predicted period or around 15 days after your assumed ovulation date.
Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, a missed or late period, tender breasts, and frequent trips to the bathroom can often be early symptoms of pregnancy. But they can also be related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), stress, and a whole lot of other situations.
