What should you do if you suspect you are pregnant?
If you suspect you are pregnant, the first step is to take a home pregnancy test. These tests are designed to detect the presence of the hormone hCG in your urine, which is produced during pregnancy. For the most accurate results, it is best to take the test after you have missed your period. If the test is positive, schedule an appointment with your gynecologist for further confirmation and to begin prenatal care.
