What Causes Bloating,mild Cramps And Gastritis?

When I had my daughter I knew from the very beginning I was pregnant. Two months ago my cycle was just mild spotting that lasted two days. A month later I took a home test and it said negative. I then had a normal cycle a week later. Now I am having bloating, mild abdominal cramps, mood swings, crazy cravings (pickles with peanut butter) , heavy gas and everyone around me keeps asking me if I m pregnant or telling me that I am. I don t want to get my hopes up taking another home test and it saying negative. My OBGYN cant see me for another month.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

You have failed to mention a very important aspect of your query, and that is your age. As mentioned by you, you had a few of these symptoms even before you experienced a period recently and continue to have them even after. I am sure you are sexually active which is why you are expecting to be pregnant, but the fact that you had these symptoms and then had a normal period does raise suspicion for a possible hormonal imbalance. Which is why I would recommend a doctors visit to confirm or rule out the same, and if required seek treatment for the same as well.

While at the doctors, pregnancy will also be considered and check upon. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
