What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I am a teenage girl who is sexually active. I practice safe sex. Last sunday, I woke up and my stomach started hurting. Then I vomited and had diarrhea the rest of the night. I have felt normal the past week. Its now saturday and I have had protected sex but a couple hours later my stomach feels weird like I am bloated. Plus my period is two weeks late and its unpredictable at times. Should I be worried that i m pregnant because I haven t any other symptoms. Plus I have felt fine. - Sunny

Dear Sunny,

Since you are in childbearing age group, you had sex twice and your periods are over due for 2 weeks, you have to consider the possibility of pregnancy and try to diagnose pregnancy status. However, your menses are irregular, so you have to keep the fingers crossed till you get the confirmation of diagnosis. However, since your sex was protected sex, hence the chances of pregnancy are minimal. Still better to get clarified and confirmed.

Pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample gives best results 8-10 days after missed period. Your periods are delayed by 2 weeks. So this test should give reliable results about your pregnancy status. However, due to irregularities in your menstrual cycle, it cannot be relied up on if it is negative.

The best option for you should be Beta hCG test. This test gives reliable results even few days before missed period. I feel you should go for it.

If you are not pregnant, you may take tab. Deviry for 5 days and within 4-7 days, you should get withdrawal bleeding.

However, considering your nausea and vomiting, the question is whether you can retain these pills in the stomach. Therefore, please report to your doctor to control this gastrointestinal problem before you take Deviry. Even if you are pregnant, nausea can be attributed to it as morning sickness, not diarrhoea for which you have to take some treatment. If you can tolerate oral fluids, oral rehydration solution after each motion should help you. Still if it is not controlled within 24-48 hours, you should report to the physician.

I hope this helps you.
