Spotting

 Are you cramping or "spotting" (i.e., bleeding slightly, almost like a light period) and aren't sure why? There's a chance you might be pregnant. Pay close attention to the blood (it may be pink or brown) and whether it comes with mild pain or cramping. It could last a few hours or a few days, so keep track of this symptom to ensure that you don't suffer needlessly.

Extreme Temperature Changes

 Do you experience excessive temperature changes, such as feeling cool one minute and hot the next? Hot flashes are common in women a) going through menopause and b) who are pregnant. However, hormonal changes can cause these types of problems in all women, so get tested before assuming you're pregnant.

Missed Periods
