What is the accuracy of online pregnancy quizzes?

Online pregnancy quizzes are accurate insofar as they inform patients as to the likelihood of pregnancy, usually by asking about symptoms. However, proof of pregnancy can only be determined by a pregnancy test, notes Mayo Clinic.

Patients are likely to be pregnant if they display signs and symptoms of pregnancy such as tender breasts, nausea, increased urination, fatigue and food cravings, according to Mayo Clinic. While online pregnancy quizzes may ask about these symptoms, only a clinical test can determine whether one is pregnant or not. There are also less obvious symptoms of pregnancy, including bleeding, cramping, mood swings, dizziness and constipation.
