Can Tender Breasts And Increased Weight Suggest Pregnancy Despite Regular Periods?

hello. i have been trying to get pregnant for almost two years with no success. this month is somewhat different. i feel like i'm pregnant but i am bleeding like i have a normal period. the cramps i am having feels more like stretching and bloating. my abdomen feels full. my breast are a little swollen and heavy. they feel and look like they grew. others also noticed. also some has told me that my face got chubby and i look pregnant. i also grew in the waist. i can not fit into some of my pants. i have lupus and take prednisone as well plaquenil. i'm hoping that there is a chance that i can still be pregnant. do you think that there is a possibility even though i have a period this month or does it sound like another condition?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Very first sign of pregnancy is a missed period.
If you have not missed your periods , then chances of pregnancy are nil.

If you have inner feeling of having pregnancy , please get morning's first sample tested for pregnancy. If you still want to confirm , blood beta HCG test will be of help.

In my opinion, what you are noticing can be PMS- premenstrual syndrome or hormonal effects of estrogen or steroids ( Prednisone) that you were treated with.

I will suggest you-
1. Tab B LONG once at night for 30 days
2. Tab PRIMOSA once at night for 30 days
3. Drink plenty of water in the day.
4. Indulge in routine exercise and healthy diet regimen.
5. Avoid fried foods, Salty foods, refined sugars
6. Include more portions of fruits, vegetables and salads in diet

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
