Quiz: Am I pregnant?

About pregnancy

If you are trying for a baby or think you might be pregnant, you'll probably be on the watch for pregnancy signs. Small changes in the way you feel both physically and emotionally can be detected as early as a week after conception. Some women say they feel pregnant long before their changing hormone levels are picked up on a test.

This is for you if:

• You think you might be pregnant but haven't yet taken a test.

• You might be in the early weeks of pregnancy.

• You think you might be having early pregnancy signs.

This quiz will not be able to confirm for certain whether or not you are pregnant - but it will help you to assess your current symptoms and recommend the next step to take. It will also help you to understand the different symptoms of early pregnancy and why they happen.

Whilst perhaps the most noticeable sign of הריון is missing a period, there are many other symptoms that may be evident during the early weeks. Most women will have some form of pregnancy symptoms. For many these will show up at around 6 weeks of pregnancy - or 4 weeks after conception. However, you may have symptoms as early as week 3 of pregnancy - 1 week after conception.

You may be pregnant despite having what appears to be a period. This could be due to implantation of the embryo which usually occurs earlier than a missed period would. However, if you have an irregular cycle, it may come later. One way to tell if is if you have a much smaller amount of bleeding than you usually do and it may be pinkish in colour rather than red.

Bleeding can also be a sign of low hormone levels (low HCG), when periods continue throughout pregnancy - but this is very rare.

If you're sexually active and are of childbearing age, pregnancy is always a possibility, even if you are using אמצעי מניעה. Whilst contraception makes it less likely you will conceive - many forms of contraception are up to 99% effective - if you miss a period or are experiencing other symptoms, it may be that you are pregnant.

Whilst the only way to find out for sure is to take a pregnancy test from your pharmacist, this quiz will let you know the likelihood of pregnancy based on your current symptoms.
