Can Food Cravings, Tiredness And Cramp Imply Pregnancy?

Last perioud was about 4 and a half weekw ago, I had missed a few pills this month due to other things, i have been under a little stress. I have recently the past 2 days been feeling pretty sick but not being sick, Lots of headaches and lower back pain, pretty much like all perioud symptoms, Hot flushes sever mood swings, My breasts feel like they are going to drop of anything that touches them hurts Sorry for TMI. My belly feels weird like wind but its not? I just dont feel myself, Few cramps. had this symptoms for about 5 weeks, had a neg test about that time as well. Im not sleeping well at all, feeling tired all the time, My smell is pretty good as well I can smell through walls its weird Lol, Smell things others cant untill they get closer, Peeing a lot, Cravings for fods as well. I thought this could be pregnancy but with a neg test what could it be?

Hallow Madam,

All the symptoms you have describe fit into either pregnancy or extreme stress (?of pregnancy).

The test you have done for detecting the pregnancy at 5 weeks has reported negative. Sometimes these tests may give false negative results if done too early. Please do one or more of the following:

1. Repeat the test after 3-4 days.
2. Beta hCG test is very specific and sensitive test for detection of pregnancy. You may get it done.
3. 10 days after missed period, get ultrasonography done.

One or more of these will confirm the status of pregnancy. Since you have missed few pills during the cycle, there are chances of pregnancy no doubt. You have to get it confirmed.

If you are pregnant, please visit the Obstetrician for regular Ante-natal check ups. If you are not pregnant, anxiety of pregnancy (or any other issue) might cause you such symptoms. Particularly your mood swings is suggesting this. In such case try to de-stress yourself, may be with the help of counsellor.

Also report to your Gynaecologist for diagnosing any other cause, if there is no pregnancy.

I hope this helps you.
