Can Cramps, Headaches, Tiredness And Missed Period Indicate Pregnancy?

Could I be pregnant? My period is about 6 or 7 days late, the tips of my nipples are really tender/sore. and i have a crazy craving for crackers, i had period like cramping about a week before my period was due and lower back cramping as well. Now pretty much my only symptoms are cravings, occasional lower back cramping, random headaches, exhausted feeling, and late period. Id take a test but Im so scared Ill see a neg response so I figured id wait till im 2 weeks late just incase.

Hi there, I have understood your concern . I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic .

2 ) As you have missed your periods already, I will suggest you to get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

3 ) Please get these tests done at least 7 days after your expected date of the cycle.
Doing it on and around your date of cycle might not give you reliable reports , on urine test or on USG also.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
