FAQ

I compiled a list of frequently asked questions for myself. Maybe this way I won't go nuts every time I get a twinge somewhere.

My breasts are sore and I’m feeling nauseous – am I pregnant?

You might be. You might not be. Your body might be trying to get into the right mood by manufacturing some pregnancy symptoms to keep you entertained. Or the sex you had last night was just a little too enthusiastic. Or you’re just plain imagining things. I know that sounds both vague and a little nasty, but it’s a sad fact of life that while some women just know when they get pregnant, the majority of us need to wait until about 6 weeks into the pregnancy to get any unmistakable symptoms.

My period’s usually spot on time, and now it’s one day late. Am I pregnant?

See above. Also, the stress of trying to conceive can delay your period. Don’t lose hope, though – getting pregnant can also delay your period.

How long will it take me to fall pregnant?

Anywhere from 5 minutes to never. On average, though, it takes 3-12 months.
