Had A Light Period. Frequent Visit To Bathroom. Have Headaches. Is There Any Possibility Of Pregnancy?

I have a question. I had my last period October 4-7 , it was very light and its now November 5. I normally have my period every 28 days for a normal 5 days and its very heavy my first day. But not last month. So I have been going to the bath room alotttttttt. Getting random headaches and feeling sick here and there? Help me, my boyfriend and I aren't trying but if I was pregnet I wouldn't mind at all. I need to understand if something else is going on. We do the "pull out method" and he truly believes we can't get pregnant.

Hi,
In the current scenario, you should get a pregnancy test done immediately. You can get a HPT with a fresh early morning sample. Else, you can get the serum beta-hCG assay for an earlier and better confirmation. Pull-out method has a high failure rate. Your symptoms are suggestive of an early pregnancy. Please see a specialist for further management. You would also need a trans-vaginal sonogram for a proper appraisal of the situation. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
