If you think that you are pregnant, you can first you wait until you miss your period. If your period is late by more than 5 days, you can take a home pregnancy test. If the test is negative, you are probably not pregnant. If the test is positive (a line is shows up on the test strip) you should go to a gynecologist for an ultrasound confirmation of the pregnancy.
