Can pregnancy go unnoticed for 7 weeks?

It's possible for a pregnancy to go unnoticed for 7 weeks, but it's less likely the further along you are. Here's why:

Factors that make it harder to notice:

* Irregular periods: If you have irregular periods, it can be difficult to track your cycle and notice a missed period.

* Low sensitivity to changes: Some women are less sensitive to the early changes of pregnancy, like breast tenderness or fatigue.

* Stress and lifestyle: Stress, exercise, or certain medications can affect your menstrual cycle.

* Early implantation: Sometimes, implantation happens later than expected, delaying the first signs of pregnancy.

Factors that make it easier to notice:

* Missed period: This is the most common early sign of pregnancy.

* Morning sickness: While it can start later, many women experience nausea and vomiting in the early weeks.

* Breast tenderness: Your breasts may become tender and swollen due to hormonal changes.

* Frequent urination: Increased blood flow to the kidneys can lead to more frequent urination.

Important to note:

* Even if you haven't noticed any signs, it's still possible to be pregnant.

* If you are sexually active and have missed your period, it's always best to take a pregnancy test to confirm.

If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's important to talk to your doctor. They can provide you with accurate information and guidance.
