How early can I confirm if I am pregnant? In other words, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test? Also, are there any specific early pregnancy symptoms I should look out for?

You can take a urine test on the first day of your missed period. If you want to check earlier, a blood test (Beta hCG) can confirm pregnancy about 10 to 12 days after sex. Early signs include a missed period, tiredness, mild cramps, or breast pain. But not everyone gets symptoms right away, so testing is the best way to know.

My last menstrual period was on 22nd August. On 27th August, my endometrial lining was measured at 16 mm. My pregnancy test is negative. I do not have polycystic ovaries, and my menstrual cycles are usually regular, but last time the period lasted only 2.5 days. What should be the next step?
