Brief Answer:
This is not pregnancy but normal menstrual bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concerns about your wife having menses after presuming to be pregnant.

I would like to tell you about symptoms of pregnancy. Symptoms of pregnancy does not appear so early with in one month of conception. These symptoms generally occur after 6 weeks.

Moreover these symptoms are not confirmatory of pregnancy alone. These symptoms also occur due to certain variations in hormones of body (as in few days before menstruation as premenstrual symptoms).

These symptoms hence does not predict or confirm pregnancy and not to be considered as pregnancy until pregnancy test is done.

Since today is 22 January and considering her last period as on 23 December, this is her normal menstrual cycle bleeding.

Let me reassure you that this is her normal periods and not pregnancy or abortion.

Let me know if there are any more queries.

Regards,

Brief Answer:
Get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy if suspicious

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

These are not specific to pregnancy. I dont think there is pregnancy chance.

If you have strong suspicion of pregnancy still ( as it seems to be ) you please get serum beta hCG blood test done which will confirm pregnancy accurately.

Serum beta hCG blood test will identify pregnancy if it has happened and take measures accordingly.
