What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Thu, 23 Apr 2015
Question: Hi, I've missed my period for a week now. I have been feeling nauseous, extreme fatigue, acne breakout, hungry often, lower tummy cramps. Got an ultrasound done, there was something that suggest that i might be pregnant. But urine tests showed a negative. The gynae suggests that i take a some hormone pill to force the period to come. Is there a possibility that he is wrong and that I might be pregnant?

Brief Answer:
There is no need forcing periods barely 1week after a missed period!

Detailed Answer:
Hi am thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this missed period and all the symptoms that you have reported. To me, there is no emergency in trying to provoke the periods. I would recommend a wait and see attitude. With something in the uterus that could be suggestive of a pregnancy, I will rather recommend a followup ultrasound rather than provoking menses at this time.

In all, i will say no pills to force periods now. A followup ultrasound in 2week would be the best way to go. Depending on these results, we would be certain on what is happening and address accordingly. There should be no rush at this time.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
