Am I Pregnant As I Have Tiredness And Loss Of Appetite?

Hi, I am a 20 yr old female and I m sexually active, now normally my period always comes either the middle of the month or the end and always lasts 5-7 days but my last period only lasted 3 days I thought it just simply stopped because sometimes ot does that but it always starts back up again and this time it didn t. I m somewhat concerned that I may be pregnant, I have notices that I have been tired more, loss of appetite, and with a couple of foods I have ate their was a metallic taste. I m not too sure what s going on

Hallow Dear,

You had your normal menses. So the probability of pregnancy is very remote. Tiredness and altered taste with loss of appetite and repulsion towards certain (particularly) oily and/or spicy food can be due to affection of the liver with or without jaundice. Please have to look of your urine. If it is dark yellow, it may suggest jaundice. Please report to your physician.

To ensure the pregnancy status, you may opt for:

1. Pregnancy test about a week after the (supposed low) menses; earlier the test may report false negative.

2. Beta hCG test on the blood 10 days after the last unprotected sexual intercourse.

I hope this helps you.
