How To Tell
In some cases, cryptic pregnancies can occur when a woman is convinced her pregnancy symptoms are unrelated or random. For instance, their body can go through changes such as weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, and even symptoms like nausea and she still won’t think to check if they’re pregnant. Other common pregnancy symptoms include constipation, fatigue, spotting, headaches, backaches, ice cravings, and dizziness.

Negative Pregnancy Test
Another reason women might not know they’re pregnant until later in the process is due to false negatives when taking home pregnancy tests. This can happen for a number of reasons, from taking the test too early to checking the results too soon or even using diluted urine. Since spotting can happen during pregnancy, some women might be under the impression they’ve gotten their period when they’re actually pregnant.
