Have you missed your period and tested for pregnancy yet?

Usually over 12 weeks.

Well, do you mean visibly? As in, when others can tell too? I've had about 4 friends that went through pregnancy so far and they all began to show around the 20 week mark.

Syptom wise?

Some women only recognize early symptoms in retrospect when they unexpectedly find out they're pregnant, while others figure out they are before it is even late enough to test. Swollen breasts are often reported as the first sign, often before a missed period. Fatigue is also an early sign, but like the bbs thing, can be attributed to PMS as well. Frequent urination and morning sickness are more likely to start happening around the time of the missed period or later, but my friend said she was feeling pukey starting at 4 days past ovulation. Check out www.twoweekwait.com, they have lists of symptoms that women report they experienced in early pregnancy, although I think some of them are exaggerated. Good luck!

Well

well it was about 2 months ago that i did something with this guy, and then i did something with another guy just a couple weeks ago and i was on b/c then but not b4. now i just started feeling this way but i have been told that if i was it had to be from b4 i started the b/c. is that true. and yes i only slightly bled this month. but not like a normal period. normally im very heavy,but not this month. i have not tested but i want to. i just dont have any way to do it. my family doesn't know there's a possibility b/c they wouldn't approve and they would stress about it and i dont need that right now. but i want to get tested.

Your family does not need to know about it for you to get a pregnancy test. I'm unsure about the laws in other areas, but where I am living right now anyone is allowed to buy an over-the-counter pregnancy test from a local pharmacy or Supermarket. Unfortunately, a test is the only 90% sure way of knowing. (unless you get tested in a hospital... but thats pricey)
