What Is The Cause Of Pregnancy Like Symptoms?

I had sex multiple times in the past 2-3 weeks and I was supposed to receive my period 8 days ago. I have not received It and I've been having nose bleeds, back pain, and pain on my left and right side of stomach, also, I've been sleeping constantly, urinating CONSTANTLY, having headaches, lightheadedness, dizziness , and have mood swings. I tested with a fairly cheap pregnancy test on the 7th day that I missed my period and it tested back negative. But I'm not sure if it was the test or if I'm just not pregnant. If it isn't pregnancy, then what could it be? Show I test again with a different test?

Hallow Dear,

The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. You have missed your period for 8 days. When a sexually active woman in reproductory age group misses her period, we consider it due to pregnancy unless and until proved otherwise. By this time, all other cardinal symptoms usually appear; however it is not a rule. The other symptoms of early pregnancy are:
1. Frequency of urination: You are already having.
2. Nausea & vomiting of pregnancy with pica. Your history does not have any mention about this.
3. Breast changes like engorgement and tenderness, dark discolouration of areola and nipples with areolar widening, Montgomery's tubercles under the areola and secretions through nipples: You history does not mention any of these symptoms. However, these symptoms may appear somewhat later.

All the other symptoms you have mentioned are not specific of diagnosing pregnancy. In fact, the different pains that you have mentioned never occur during normal pregnancy.

My advice to you would be to go for a standard quality pregnancy test kit. Perform the test on the overnight first early morning urine sample. Else, you may go for a more reliable Beta hCG test. Either of these will confirm the diagnosis.

If these tests reveal that you are not pregnant, you may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days. 4-7 days alter you should get your menses.

For the other symptoms, please report to your physician for appropriate management.

I hope this helps you.
