Are Delayed Periods Along With Excessive Hunger Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
Hi Good day! I just want to ask if could I be pregnant? My 1st day on my last period was January 23. Me and my boyfriend had sex last Feb. 10 and now I was 3 days delayed. My period was always regular and on time. This past few days, I always feel hungry and tired I don t know if its due to stress or im just being tired since my work is always at night (nightshift). I haven t taken any pregnancy test. Could I be pregnant? I m bothered. Me and my boyfriend are not yet ready for this. Thanks!

Hi,
The symptoms you are experiencing are non-specific and hence cannot be concluded that you could be pregnant.
Since periods have been delayed, kindly take urine pregnancy test. If it indicates positive, then there is a possibility that you might have conceived.
You need to undertake ultrasound scan and clinical examination by consulting Obstetrician for confirmation of pregnancy.
In case it is negative, the delay could be stress induced along with changes in hormonal levels, which could be the cause for delay in getting periods.
You need clinical evaluation and appropriate management, for which you need to consult Obstetrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
