Are Back Pain, Headaches And Fatigue Suggestive Of Pregnancy?
So the past couple of days I ve been experiencing back pain headaches and cramps and fatigue. I ve never had cramps this early before my period. My period isn t due for another week. My last period was on sep 17 and me and my boyfriend had sex on the 26. I took online pregnancy quizzes and they said it s a possibility I m pregnant. Am I pregnant and do I have to wait till I miss my period to take a test? Please help

Hi,
I understand your query & concern.
Though back ache,head ache& fatigue are seen in few cases of an early pregnancy, they are not confirmatory signs of pregnancy.So the final diagnosis of pregnancy can be confirmed by pregnancy test.
It can be done -
- By blood HCG testing a couple of days around the expected date of period.
- By urine pregnancy test.. after 8 days delay in periods.
thanks
