Is Frequent Urination And Tenderness In Breast Sign Of Pregnancy?
I'm 25 & I can't remember the date i got my period last month, but in the last few days i've been feeling the need to urinate much more frequently than normal & my breasts feel quite tender. I usually get PMS symptoms just the day before my period starts, but they've been going on for almost a week now (back ache, headache, light cramping, moodiness). My partner & I do not use any contraceptive methods as he had a vasectomy 10 yrs ago - how concerned should I be about the possibility of pregnancy?

Hallow Dear,
If your partner has undergone vasectomy 10 years ago, practically the chances of pregnancy are nil. Had it been failure of vasectomy, you would have conceived many years ago.
Though your most symptoms, particularly frequent urination and breast tenderness are symptoms of pregnancy, they appear about a week to 10 days after missed period. Unfortunately, you are not sure of the date of your last menstrual period (LMP).
If you feel, it is more than 5 weeks since your LMP, you may perform pregnancy test on the overnight early morning first urine sample. Alternatively, you may opt for Beta hCG test on your blood 10 days after your last unprotected intercourse. This is just to have peace of mind.
I hope, this will resolve your dilemma.
