9. Missed Period
The symptom that causes most women to seek a pregnancy test is a missed period. The hormones produced by the body after conception and implantation cause ovulation and menstruation to cease until after the birth of the baby.
However, missing a period is not always a definitive sign of pregnancy. Some women have periods that occur irregularly. Other issues may cause missed periods, including stress, dieting, hormone imbalances and excessive exercise.6‘Am I Pregnant?
