What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I ve been having the usual pregnancy symptoms (naseau, fatigue, frequent urination, headaches -had a migraine last weekend-, and some smells/foods make me queasy). My period arrived today, almost five days early, and is unusually light but with the usual crampy-ness. is it possible I m pregnant? or is it something else? my periods have been constant both in timing and amount until now.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the chances of pregnancy appear less.
Once the period comes the pregnancy is ruled out.
But as you have regular periods usually and the period was lighter than usual you can go for a urine pregnancy test just to rule out the pregnancy.
If the pregnancy test is negative the abnormal period can be due to hormonal imbalance.
Also the pregnancy symptoms which you said usually start 2 weeks after missed period and it might be too early to feel them.
But anyways just to confirm the absence of pregnancy the urine pregnancy test can be done.
As per your information pregnancy is highly unlikely.
Even the stress regarding the thought of pregnancy also makes one to feel pregnancy symptoms.
Si avoid stress.Relax.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
