What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I am 29 years old, I am roughly 10stone in weight. I had unprotected sex on 3rd April which I later worked out is when I was ovulating. My period is due on Tuesday however I have a strange tingling sensation in my stomach and feel alittle sick throughout the day for the past few days, this morning in the shower I wreched as if I was going to be sick but was not. I know it is possible I am pregnant but is it not too early to have any signs? Thanks

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

Pregnancy symptoms vary widely between women, and many of the same symptoms people associate with pregnancy like spotting, breast tenderness, bloating, nausea and mood changes can also been used by other hormonal factors. In addition, pelvic pain can also have many causes. Therefore, there is no way to know if you are pregnant based on symptoms, and the most common sign of pregnancy is missing your period.

So, if you are having unprotected sex and are at risk for pregnancy, I suggest performing a urine pregnancy test if you miss your period. If you do not and continue to have pelvic pain, an examination by a gynecologist would be prudent to rule out any other causes of your abdominal pain.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
