If you suspect that you might be pregnant, the first step is to take a pregnancy test to get confirmation. The Pregnancy Network in Winston-Salem offers pregnancy tests that are administered by Registered Nurses. They are most accurate two days (or more) after you have a missed period. 

Whenever you have sex, there is a chance that you can become pregnant even if you use contraception—there is no contraceptive that is 100 percent effective. These are some of the most common symptoms of pregnancy:

• Missing your period
• Nausea or vomiting
• Tender breasts
• Frequent urination
• Feeling tired all of the time

Experiencing these symptoms does not automatically mean that you are pregnant. We recommend undergoing pregnancy testing to confirm the pregnancy and then consulting with a medical professional like an obstetrician or a gynecologist. Our team at The Pregnancy Network in Winston-Salem is here to help you.
