Is Delayed Menstruation A Sign Of Pregnancy?

Hi, My period is 3 weeks late and I ve either been urinating a lot or feel like I need to but nothing but small amounts of orange urine at those times comes out. My boyfriend is fixed, and we are unprotected. I know that doesn t clear anything 100% as far as pregnancy. I m 34 and have always been regular. There are times when I feel pms symptoms, though. Curious if there may be another factor and what I could be dealing with.

Hi,

Delayed menses need not be pregnancy every time. It can be confirmed by home pregnancy test after 8 days of delay in periods.

The symptoms you have might be bladder hyperactivity (inflammation, infection, cold weather or excessive fluid intake, early diabetes apart from being a symptom of early pregnancy.

Menstrual irregularity can follow in convalescence after illness, hormonal imbalance(ovarian or thyroid problems).

Please wait for periods if pregnancy testis -ve / meet a gynaecologist in case the problem is not solved in a weeks time or gets repeated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
