An ultrasound scan can confirm the presence of a gestational sac, which indicates a pregnancy. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are invasive tests done later in pregnancy to check for genetic abnormalities. The basal body temperature method can suggest the possibility of pregnancy, but it is not a definitive confirmation.
