How to Take the Am I Pregnant Quiz

Note down your answers (A, B, C or D) on a piece of paper and tally them using the scoresheet at the end. Each answer carries points that indicate the likelihood of early pregnancy.

Q1 - When Do You Expect Your Next Period?

A - Two weeks or more
B - In a few days
C - It is a few days late
D - It is unusually late, a week or more

Q1 Feedback

A: If your period is not due for two weeks, you might be approaching your fertile period. Some women experience tiredness and bloating around ovulation. Wait until your period is due, then take a pregnancy test.
B: Early pregnancy signs and pre-menstrual symptoms can be similar. If you cannot wait, try a more sensitive pregnancy test rated 20 IU/L or less, though these are more expensive.
C: You might be pregnant if your period is usually very regular. However, many factors can cause a late period. Try a pregnancy test if there is a possibility.
D: If your period is quite late, get a pregnancy test. If it returns negative, see your doctor about other possible causes.

Q2 - How Do Your Breasts Feel?

A - Normal | B - A little tender | C - Really swollen | D - Both B and C

Feedback: Breast tenderness is a common but not universal sign of early pregnancy. Many women also experience this at ovulation or before their period. If changes are noticeably different from your regular monthly pattern, this may indicate pregnancy. No breast change does not rule out pregnancy.

Q3 - Have You Been Feeling Any Fatigue?

A - None at all | B - Once or twice | C - Tired by end of most days | D - Totally exhausted dawn to dusk

Feedback: Tiredness is a very common sign of early pregnancy. If it is possible for you to be pregnant and you have other symptoms, sudden exhaustion may be significant. Get plenty of rest regardless.

Q4 - Have You Been Feeling Nauseous?

A - No | B - Sometimes queasy | C - Nauseous but it goes when I eat | D - Cannot keep anything down

Feedback: Nausea is a common early pregnancy symptom but quite a few pregnant women do not experience morning sickness at all. Lack of nausea does not rule out pregnancy. If nausea recurs over several days alongside other symptoms, it may be significant.

Q5 - Have You Been Moody Lately?

A - No | B - A little bit | C - Noticeably moody | D - An emotional see-saw

Feedback: Pregnancy hormones affect everyone differently. Mood swings are common in early pregnancy and the pre-menstrual phase. If unusually moody with other symptoms, wait until your period is due and try a test. If mood swings cause concern and pregnancy is not the cause, speak to your doctor.

Q6 - Have You Been Urinating More Frequently?

A - No | B - A little more | C - Getting up once at night | D - Every couple of hours

Feedback: Frequent urination is a common sign of early pregnancy. Other causes include urinary tract infections. If this is your only symptom without other pregnancy signs, see your doctor. Otherwise wait for your period and take a test.

Q7 - Food Cravings or Metallic Taste?

A - None | B - Cravings for unusual foods | C - Metallic taste in mouth | D - Both

Feedback: Food cravings and a metallic taste are common pregnancy signs. Nutritional deficiencies may cause cravings. Eat plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and lean red meat. A metallic taste often lasts throughout pregnancy. These are not definitive indicators on their own.

Q8 - Changes in Cervical Mucus?

A - No change | B - Thin and stretchy | C - Thicker than usual | D - Thicker and more abundant

Feedback: Thin, stretchy, egg-white-like mucus often signals your fertile period. Thickening of cervical mucus is a common early pregnancy sign. However, mucus changes throughout the cycle, so this symptom alone is unlikely to be significant.

Q9 - Bleeding Gums or Nosebleeds?

A - Neither | B - Bleeding gums | C - Nosebleeds | D - Both

Feedback: Pregnancy increases the sensitivity of mucous membranes, causing bleeding gums and nosebleeds. Visit your dentist if gums are bleeding. Use a very soft toothbrush but continue brushing and flossing. Let your dentist know pregnancy is a possibility if offered an X-ray.

Q10 - More Frequent Headaches?

A - No | B - One or two | C - Regularly | D - Every day

Feedback: Headaches in the first trimester are fairly common, caused by changes in blood circulation, hormone levels, and fatigue. If you have always been susceptible to headaches, pregnancy can make them worse. Headaches alone are not a definitive sign.

FAQs on Am I Pregnant Quiz

The most common early signs include a missed or late period, breast tenderness, fatigue, nausea or morning sickness, mood swings, frequent urination, food cravings, and a metallic taste in the mouth. However, many of these symptoms overlap with pre-menstrual signs, so a pregnancy test is the best way to confirm.

The quiz is a fun way to check common early pregnancy signs but is not a definitive diagnosis. The only accurate way to confirm pregnancy is a pregnancy test, available over-the-counter at most Indian pharmacies, best taken around the time your period is due.

Yes, some women do not experience or notice any early pregnancy signs at all. Most symptoms take a while to develop, and not having breast tenderness, nausea, or fatigue does not rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

The best time is around when your period would normally be due. Most pregnancy tests give accurate results a few days before your next period is due. Testing too early may return a false negative even if you are pregnant.

No, breast tenderness alone does not confirm pregnancy. It is a common sign of early pregnancy but many women also experience it at ovulation and before their period. If breast changes are noticeably different from your regular monthly pattern, it may indicate pregnancy.

No, morning sickness is not guaranteed in pregnancy. While the majority of pregnant women report nausea, quite a few do not experience any at all. Conversely, nausea can also signify other conditions, so it is not a definitive indicator on its own.

Headaches in the first trimester of pregnancy are fairly common and thought to be caused by changes in blood circulation, hormone levels, and fatigue. However, headaches have many causes and are not a definitive sign of pregnancy on their own.

A metallic taste is a common early pregnancy sign with no clear scientific explanation. It often lasts throughout pregnancy and may be accompanied by food cravings. On its own, it does not confirm pregnancy but combined with other symptoms, it may be significant.
