Hi there

If you have missed a period, or it was lighter or shorter than usual and you are suffering from the symptoms you mentioned then it might be possible you are pregnant.

It would be a good idea to take a pregnancy test which you can get for free from your GP or local contraceptive and sexual health clinic (you can find your nearest one here fpa.org.uk/find-a-clinic ). Although you can also buy them from pharmacies, supermarkets and even pound shops.

You can use some very sensitive pregnancy tests before your period is due such as ‘first response’ but unfortunately the results they would give wouldn’t be as accurate as if you waited until your period is due before testing – although I completely appreciate that you must be very anxious to test as soon as possible.

There is more information about taking a test from the NHS website: nhs.uk/Livewell/Sexandyoung...

I hope this helps.

Best wishes
