Are Tender And Enlarged Breasts, Tiredness And Delayed Periods Signs Of Pregnancy?

Hi,I am experiencing tender and enlarged breasts. mood swings, tiredness, increase in apetite and cravings for sugar. My period should be here by now and is a couple of days late. Is this PMS or pregnancy? I dont usually experience these symptoms apart from increase in apetite a few days before my period is due.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the symptoms you are experiencing it is difficult to state weather it could be caused due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or pregnancy.
Kindly wait for a week and in case the periods does not appear, kindly take a urine pregnancy test. If it is positive, confirm the pregnancy by means of ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
