You Aren’t Experiencing Signs or Symptoms.

Every woman’s pregnancy experience is unique. Some feel every symptom and know they are pregnant right away, while others may not have any symptoms. 

If you don’t have any symptoms, this can also be a cryptic pregnancy. This is a pregnancy that goes unnoticed, sometimes up until labor. These are uncommon.

You Mistake Your Symptoms for a Virus or Other Condition.

Maybe your “food poisoning” or “flu” is actually pregnancy. Since pregnancy symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and fatigue are shared between conditions, women can attribute them to other things. Then, when they don’t go away, women know to take a pregnancy test.

You Have Irregular Periods.

A missed period can go unnoticed if they are generally irregular. If it has been over a month since you had a period, it may be time to take a test.

You’re on Birth Control, and Pregnancy Didn’t Cross Your Mind.

Birth control is not 100% effective, even if women take their pills at the same time each day. This condition can cause women to miss the fact that they’re pregnant because it doesn’t seem possible.

However, even if you’re on birth control, you can still get pregnant.

Pregnancy Is Always a Possibility

If you’re sexually active, there’s always a chance of pregnancy. If there is any question in your mind about whether you’re pregnant, it’s a hint that it’s time to take a test.
