Are Abdominal Bloating And Stretchy Vaginal Discharge Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Wed, 23 Sep 2015
Question: Hi, I track my period through a calendar on my phone which also indicates ovulation dates. According to my last period start date (10th August) my ovulation started on the 17th through to the 20th. I have been experiencing bloating in my lower stomach the last couple of days, feeling heavy and almost like it wants to push out. I have also had increased very wet/slippery discharge the last couple of days too. I am really concerned I might be pregnant. I had unprotected sex with my fiancé on Saturday night (19th) even though he didn't ejaculated inside of me, I know there's still a risk. Is it possible to have these symptoms that early on? Please help.

Brief Answer:
Better to take a test when you skip your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Well the symptoms of early pregnancy overlap with those of pre menstrual syndrome.
So there is no way you can rely on all these symptoms to guess if you are pregnant or not.
It is really impossible to say, on the basis of these symptoms, whether you are pregnant or not.
It is best if you wait for your next period, and if you miss it, then take a pregnancy test.
All the best.
