Why Some Women May Be Pregnant Without Knowing

A woman who is on birth control pills may be pregnant without knowing because she will not experience any pregnancy symptoms or might have done tests which came back negative.

Hormonal imbalance

Hormonal imbalances are one of the major reasons why a woman can get pregnant without knowing.   If you just got pregnant or gave birth, it may take a while for your cycle to return. However, you may be ovulating without knowing it and so get pregnant while breastfeeding.

Doing early pregnancy test

If you do a pregnancy test or ultrasound very early after conception there is a high chance that they will not deduce that you are pregnant.  You should always retake the test for more assurance or take it in the morning when your urine is unsoiled.

Irregular menstrual cycle                                                                                                                

A woman with an irregular cycle may be pregnant without knowing and she might think that it is just irregular periods while she is pregnant already.

Menstruating or spotting blood

Bleeding or spotting can happen even when pregnant when the embryo attaches itself to the uterine wall and makes the endometrial lining shed. It doesn’t mean she has lost the baby. Some women can still see their period even when pregnant.

Absence of pregnancy bump or movement

One of the most prominent symptoms of pregnancy is a protruding belly, when you can’t see it, It is difficult for you to know you are pregnant.  

The lack of a pregnancy bump usually occurs because of the position of the fetus. If the fetus is not positioned regularly or is positioned behind the uterus, the woman will be pregnant without knowing for a long time.
