Missed Period, Tired, Increase In Appetite. Had Lots Of Pain During Periods Last Month. Reason?
can you have hot flashes while being pregnant? could that be one symptom of pregnancy? I've also missed a period, very tired, crabby, and eating or more of an appetite. I did have a point last month that I was in alot of paint for a few days at a strange point. Not sure what to think at this point. My breast have not changed so I'm thinking not but could I be?

Hi and thanks for the query,
A missed period in a female of reproductive age deserves an obligatory evaluation for the possibility of a pregnancy. I suggest you do a blood Beta HCG measurement, sensitive in diagnosing a pregnancy. An ultrasound scan also be useful.
It is however important to know that at times some women, with cycles without ovulation could go for some months without bleeding. But it becomes problematic in case this persists. I suggest you consult your primary care doctor for evaluation and advice. Kind regards
