Could Nausea,headaches,constipation And Soreness In Breast Indicate Pregnancy?
I had intercourse 11 days ago on a Sunday. On the next Saturday, I had a light spotting and my cramps started. I still have not had my period, I am nausiated on and off, I have headaches on and off, and constipation and my right (smaller breast) is sore. I would assume that it was early pregnancy, However, I have been wanting a baby and my friend at work just told us she was pregnant. What are the chances that this is just a phantom pregnancy?

Hi there,
I have gone through your question and would like to give my opinion on this.
1) Light spotting could be a sign of pregnancy, but is not very reliable.
2) You have missed your periods, so you need to get a urine pregnancy test done and find out the results.
3) All the symptoms you have are vague and could mean both pregnancy or pre-menstrual syndrome.
4) If your pregnancy test is negative, repeat the test after a week or you can go for a blood test called serum beta HCG.
5) Phantom pregnancy is a very strong term and I would not call it that because you are aware that you might not be pregnant. do not worry.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards,
