Brief Answer: Detailed answer provided Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome, I understand the query. Unfortunately the symptoms are non specific and are seen in many conditions like gastric infections, anemia, thyroid disorders, liver and pancreatic disorders and innumerable other causes including simple stress. Also you just had a period. If the period was a regular one and amount of bleeding was the same as in your routine periods, then chances of pregnancy are not there. I would like to share a few points regarding female reproduction with you: In every female an egg or ovum produced on day 14 [ may occur on any day between day 10-20] of the periods in women with regular cycles of 28 days. The egg remain available for 36 hours and if there is a sexual contact then and it meets a sperm, then pregnancy occurs. It takes another 7-10 days for the egg to attach to the mother and so symptoms usually do not occur before the missed period. Hence if there was a recent regular period with routine amount of bleed then there cannot be any pregnancy. The reason I mention about the amount of flow is that sometimes in early pregnancy when the egg is not completely attached to the mother, slight bleeding may occur in some women called implantation bleed. Some women may confuse this with a period. So if you have doubt about that the period may have been an implantation bleed then it is best to get a urine test after 7-10 days to rule out pregnancy. So please check all the above parameters. If it was a regular routine period then you are not pregnant and the symptoms may be due to some other cause and you may need an examination to determine the cause. I hope that this answered your query. Please feel free to ask any more questions and I would be glad to help. Thanks for using HCM. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist
