You are generally pregnant from the moment an egg and sperm fuse together.

The easiest way to determine pregnancy is to take a pregnancy test. These tests measure whether the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is present in the urine or blood. Home pregnancy tests are available from most pharmacies, or even from Selecta vending machines, and can sometimes be taken a few days before (the absence of) menstruation.

It usually takes a few weeks before the pregnancy is visible on the scales, but this varies from time to time.
