Hot Flashes, Vomiting, Nausea And Fatigue. White Discharge From The Nipple. Am I Pregnant?
Well I have been having a couple of unusual symptoms and I think it s because I m pregnant but I m not sure.... I have been experiencing hot flashes off and on, nausea , vomiting , very tired during the day mostly but have a hard time sleeping at night, I have had abdominal cramping but it only lasted for one day, frequent urination , a white discharge coming from my nipple but its not all the time and its never a lot..... I get heartburn a lot sometimes just out of no where..... I just want to know if these are possibly symptoms of pregnancy

hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
All your symptoms are suggestive of pregnancy. But they are not definitive of pregnancy.
I recommend you to wait for your next periods. If you happen to miss your period, then get a urine pregnancy test for b-HCG. Earlier to that, you can as well get blood tested for beta HCG 1 week before your expected period. Transvaginal scan is more confirmatory.
If nipple discharge persists for more than 2 weeks, get a serum prolactin levels to rule out pituitary pathology.
Hope this helps.
regards,
DR Nilofer
