Have Missed Periods, Headache, Lower Back Pain And Neck Stiffness, Mild Cramps, Heartburn. Pregnant?

I have been very forgetful the past few days, kind of frustrating....I have had frequent headaches for about 4 days, today it is constant. Having lower neck stiffness, lower back pain. I have also noticed some days I will have cramps that are mild, that come and go throughout the day or night. I am having heartburn after everything I eat, and if I eat like a full meal, a little while later I will start to get sick. Most of the time it comes with no nausea, it just comes. I find that my nose is a little stuffer than usual sometimes throughout the day. What could this be? I have missed one period I believe, unless I got the start date wrong. It would be late by 14 days. I took two pregnancy test on 13 days ago, both negative.

Hi,

Missed periods are normal due to hormonal changes or stress or diet factors.
The symptoms of headache, lower back pain and mild cramps and heartburn are related to premenstrual syndrome.

I suggest to wait for a couple of months to evaluate the periods irregularity. If after 4-5 months, you still have such problems, I suggest to :

- change your diet (eat less fats, carbs,etc)
- be more physically involved
- check the hormonal levels in blood
- try to cope with stress (stress-relieving techniques can help).

If still no improvement, can consult OG specialist.

All the best!
