What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Pregnancy?

I am on birth control and took one more active pill than I was suppose to last month, hoping to delay my period by a day. But my period never came. My next period is expected next week. I ve been really nauseated, exhausted, cramping, spotted yesterday a little, been running a fever, and can only eat things that I am craving. Is this due to messing up my schedule or could I be pregnant?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I Think I have understood your concern.

If you had regularly consumed the birth control pills and added only one more pill , you were totally protected in that. Cycle. If you have not started your periods within ten days of stopping the pills and your most of the symptoms ate that of early pregnancy. I will suggest you to get mornings first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. If it is negative then you can wait for menses to come. But Plesse observe another contraceptive method like Condom.

Even if it is positive, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with medicine safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
