Take a home pregnancy test after a missed period
Use the first morning urine for best accuracy
Follow the test instructions exactly
Repeat the test in 2 to 3 days if the result is negative and your period still does not start
Get a blood pregnancy test from a doctor or clinic for earlier and more accurate detection
Watch for common signs such as a missed period, nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue, frequent urination, and mild cramping
See a healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy and discuss next steps
Seek urgent medical care if you have severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or fainting
