Are Breast Tenderness, Nausea And Food Cravings Signs Of Pregnancy?
Hi. I m experiencing extreme breast tenderness and a heavy feeling in them. I am also having what I would consider extreme food cravings. Also some mild nausea but no vomiting. I had a tubal ligation almost 4 years ago. Is it possible that I could get pregnant anyway?

Hi, Thanks for the query. Breast tenderness, nausea, food carvings are some signs suggestive of pregnancy, but need not always be pregnancy. +ve pregnancy test/ USg pelvis after 5 weeks pregnancy are the confirmatory signs. In your case, tubectomy being done, it's less likely to be pregnancy ( however re canalization of tubes followed by conception is possible in few patients ) If it is not pregnancy, it can be - gastritis, acid peptic diseases, ovarian, thyroid problems., PCOD .. which have similar symptoms... they need to be evaluated & treated with help of a gynecologist./ general physician. thanks.
thanks.
