If a doctor does a pelvic exam, will they be able to tell if you're pregnant?

Question

Even if you're bleeding?

Answer

No of course not. They'll do a urine or blood test or a scan

Answer

There are signs, such as Chadwick's sign (a change in the appearance of the cervix), and there's a point where the uterus has changed enough that is obvious, but most docs are just going to check urine or serum HCG.

Answer

If you're more than 9-10 weeks along they can. Your uterus thickens and becomes enlarged so they can feel it's not the normal size and order labs/ultrasound to confirm.
