What Is The Cause Of Pregnancy Like Symptoms?

body changes
my last menstrual cycle was 09/30/12-10/04/12 and I haven't gotten another visit since. I have been having minor stomach cramping, and have been feeling very tired and lazy. My areolas have been changing color. they are getting slightly darker...more so on the outer edge. During my last menstrual cycle my fiance and I had unprotected sex and he did finish in me. This was on October 3rd. Is it possible that i am pregnant being that it has been 55 days since my last period? I took a pregnancy test two weeks ago on Thursday and it was negative, but I just do not know.

Hallow Dear,

It seems that you had unprotected sex on the third day of menstruation. This day, egg is yet to be released and hence there is no possibility of pregnancy due to this act. Delay in menses could be due to stress. By day 55 after last menstrual period, the pregnancy test give quite reliable results.

The egg is released 14 days prior to next menses. Egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence a period of about one week around the day of egg release is a fertile period. If you had any unprotected sex during this period, there are chances of pregnancy.

Yes, your observation of colour and size changes in areola do suggest the possibility of pregnancy. However, it is not confirmatory test.

8-10 dafter missed period, please repeat urine pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample which will confirm the diagnosis. If it is negative, Take Tab. Deviry for 5 days and you will get withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.

I hope this helps you.
