Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m trying to distinguish between PMS menstrual cramps/symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms. I ve been having loose stool, stomach/uteran cramps, headaches, nausea, and I m about 10 days late for my period (with an irregular cycle). Most of the time I get all but the nausea and loose stool with PMS. I also just had a baby 5 months ago. What are the chances I m pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Since you are late for periods by 10 days, it would be advisable for you to take a urine pregnancy test, get your blood tested for beta hCG levels and take a ultrasound scan of abdomen to know the status weather you are pregnant or not. Kindly consult Gynaecologist with the report for clinical evaluation and further management. If you have regained your periods following delivery, there are chances that you could get pregnant. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
