Pregnancy is officially diagnosed early on by blood or urine tests. Nowadays home pregnancy tests are accurate fairly early on. Pregnancy can also be diagnosed by ultrasound or a physical exam by a practitioner. The diagnosis of pregnancy requires a multifaceted approach using 3 main diagnostic tools. These are history and physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and ultrasonography. Currently, physicians may use all of these tools to diagnose pregnancy at early gestation and to help rule out other pathologies.
