How do I know if I'm pregnant?

Pregnancy can occur anytime there is penis and vagina sex. Even if you use birth control, it is never 100% effective. 

Missing your period is the first sign of pregnancy. However, people miss their period for many reasons, like being on certain types of birth controls, weight loss, illness, having an irregular cycle, etc.

If you think you are pregnant you can take a pregnancy test to confirm.
