If you have missed your period for 5 weeks and 5 days, it is possible that you could be pregnant. Some common symptoms of pregnancy include missed periods, nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue, frequent urination, and food cravings. To confirm whether or not you are pregnant, you can take a home pregnancy test or visit a healthcare professional for a blood test. Home pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of the hormone hCG in your urine. It is important to follow the instructions on the test carefully and wait until after your missed period to get accurate results. If the test is positive, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider for further confirmation and guidance on prenatal care.
