The earliest you can take a pregnancy test is typically around the time of your expected period or about two weeks after ovulation. However, some sensitive tests can detect pregnancy earlier. It’s best to follow the instructions provided with the test kit.

The effectiveness of contraception varies depending on the method used. Some methods, like hormonal implants or IUDs, are more than 99% effective, while others, like condoms, have a lower efficacy rate. It’s important to use contraception consistently and correctly to maximize effectiveness.

Early signs of pregnancy can vary, but common symptoms include missed periods, breast tenderness, fatigue, nausea or morning sickness, increased urination, and mood swings. However, it’s important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other factors.

It’s advisable to schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider after receiving a positive pregnancy test result. They can confirm the pregnancy, provide prenatal care information, and discuss the next steps and important considerations for a healthy pregnancy.

If you are unsure about continuing a pregnancy, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider or an SRH brand that offers guidance on all pregnancy options. They can provide information about abortion services, adoption, and support resources available to help you make an informed decision.

To have a healthy pregnancy, it’s crucial to maintain a balanced diet, take prenatal vitamins, exercise regularly as advised by your healthcare provider, avoid harmful substances like smoking and alcohol, attend regular prenatal check-ups, and seek medical advice for any concerns or issues that arise.

No, most forms of contraception are not intended for use during pregnancy. Once you receive confirmation of pregnancy, you should discontinue contraceptive methods. However, it’s important to discuss this with a healthcare provider to ensure a smooth transition and to explore options for future contraception if desired.

Common discomforts during pregnancy, such as nausea, backache, fatigue, and swollen feet, can be managed through various means, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, proper rest, staying hydrated, wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, and seeking advice from your healthcare provider on suitable remedies or treatments.
