Are Irregular Period, Vomiting And Abdominal Discomfort Signs Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hello, I am 50 year old female, who is sexually active. My last period was the first week of July. I have had irregular periods, but my question is, could I be pregnant? Today, i the morning I felt very sick on the stomach, I throw-up, nothing in i, very clear. I have 3 living grown children, I was seen by a OBN, doctor, last summer. I wanted to know if I can still conceive, he confirmed that I can, but it can be hard, because of my age. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
Rule out pregnancy by urine test.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, Dr. Purushottm Neurgaonkar welcomes you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1 ) First of all do not panic.
2 ) It is good to hear that you are sexualy active, and you are still having your menstrual cycles , even though irregular.
3 ) As you have already crossed your dates, and if you are 15 to 20 days past your sexual activity, then it will be a good idea to get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
In case of any doubt, blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.
4 ) Even If you are pregnant, you can opt for termination of the pregnancy with medicines safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy under medical supervision.
5 ) As you might be aware that in spite of your age, if you are still getting your menses then you can get pregnant as your ovaries are still functioning.
I will suggest you to use a suitable contraceptive method like condom, if sexual activity frequency is 2 to 3 times a week.
This will help to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please rate and put down your valuable review if you don't have any further queries, if this answer helps you. I will highly appreciate it.
Thanks.
