What Is The Cause For Irregular Periods, Tender Breasts, Cramping And Nausea?
Hello! I'm wondering if I could be pregnant or perhaps just paranoid. I thought at first my period is coming on since the usual cramping I get and bit of acne outbreak and tender boobs. I'm also experiencing lower back pains, and feeling nauseous as of late for no reason. I have irregular periods so I sometimes I can go almost two months without one so it throws me off.
I took two pregnant tests but both came negative so I'm assuming it's just paranoia but I'm not sure. Today I've been experiencing the typical cramping symptoms with tender breasts, and now heartburn. I feel nauseous once in awhile but haven't actually thrown up and I've been super tired lately too which isn't like me. I'm an insomniac however so I usually live on 3-5 hrs of sleep and that boosts me. That's been me my entire life but lately I've been getting tired early and sleeping in later and still feeling exhausted through out the day. So could it just be stress or something entirely different?
Your urine pregnancy tests are reliable if you have taken them 10 days after your missed period.You can confirm by a more accurate blood test.Blood hcg test is more sensitive to detect pregnancy.
Incase of negative pregnancy test,the cause of irregular periods should be identified and treated. Polycystic ovary,obesity and hypothyroidism should be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
