Sore Breasts, Tired, Weight Gain, Back Pain, Had Unprotected Sex. What Do You Think This May Be?
Question: I am 40 years old. My husband had a vasectomy 15 years ago. He went for the first test, but not the second. We have been having unprotected sex for 15 years and I have never became pregnant. I had my last period 3 weeks ago. I now have sore breasts, tired, weight gain and have lower back pain.
Also, my husband was tested for low testosterone to find out he had it. He started taking shots for it 2 weeks ago.
Can you help me out what you think this may be?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your signs and symptoms are generalized and are not definitively suggestive of pregnancy.
Since you had your periods 3 weeks ago, it is right now too early to say anything about being pregnant. Also, your husband is vasectomised. The chances of pregnancy in your case are very low.
The symptoms you are having- sore breasts, weight gain, etc are all non specific and do not conclusively indicate about pregnancy.
The hormonal changes- raised HCG levels that bring about these symptoms do not appear until at least 10 days after conception.
You need to wait for your period to be overdue before going for a urine pregnancy test available at all the pharmacies.
For an early diagnosis, you can get your raising serum HCG titres evaluated after 4-5 days under the guidance of your gynaecologist.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
