Hallow Dear,
You seem to be in totally confused about the situation you are facing currently.
Menses appearing 5 days earlier would not suggest any chance of pregnancy; however, only scanty bleeding for about 36 hours may suggest the possibility of pregnancy. Some of your symptoms like frequency of urination supports the possibility of pregnancy.
Occasionally, some amount of bleeding is noted at around the time of expected menses even during first 3 months of pregnancy. Some call it
implantation bleeding, some say placental sign. This confuses the diagnosis of pregnancy.
I feel, there is no valid reason for you to defer the pregnancy test. Even period is missed and all other cardinal symptoms of pregnancy are present, the confirmation of early pregnancy is done by pregnancy test.
Please perform pregnancy test on an overnight first morning urine sample 8-10 days after the expected date of menstruation; done earlier, it may give false negative results. Alternatively, you may opt for
Beta hCG test which is very sensitive and specific test and gives reliable results even few days before menses.
Once you have confirmed the diagnosis of pregnancy, please take care of your other symptoms like
fatigue,
lethargy, pain in legs, etc. They can be due to
anaemia or Hypothyroid dysfunction. Haemogramme will tell the status of your
haemoglobin also. It should be above 12 gms %Get your Thyroid function test to know about Thyroid status. TSH should be below 3. Hyperthyroid state does cause voracious appetite. Hypo- or Hyperthyroid state may alter the menstrual pattern.
No pain is a symptom of pregnancy. So once your pregnancy status is clear, have a consultation form your doctor regarding the pain.
And finally, what you suspect could also be very true. In the absence of pregnancy, most of these symptoms could be due to extreme stressful situation you are undergoing. Please manage your stress appropriately; take help of a counselor if required for it. Continuous stress may lead you to
PCOS also.
I hope this helps you.
