What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I am 18 and I have a very regular cycle. Exactly 30 days and it lasts 5 days. On March 23 I began my period. It was very light and only lasted 2 days. Since then I have been experiencing nausea, tender breasts, bloating, mood swings, food cravings, many trips to the restroom, and some tiredness. Also, April 21st I noticed light pink blood when I used the restroom that morning, and again around noon that day. I have yet to start my period and was wondering if I may be pregnant.

Hallow Dear,

Since for two months, you had very scanty to light period, and you are suffering from nausea, tender breasts, pica, frequent urination, etc. you need to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy to appear is missing period. Though you have not missed your period, your last two (?)periods were suspiciously scanty. The other cardinal symptoms of early pregnancy are nausea & vomiting with pica, frequent urination and breast symptoms which include engorgement & tenderness, dark discolouration of nipples & areola with areolar widening, Montgomery's tubercles under the areola and secretions from the nipples. You have many of these symptoms.

Since your last two cycles are suspiciously scanty, pregnancy test on the first early morning urine will reveal the diagnosis. Else, by this time ultrasonography also can give you direct visual evidence about the status of pregnancy.

I hope this will resolve your dilemma.
