Feeling Dizzy. Lightheaded And Cramps. Had Unprotected Sex. Pregnant?

Hi. My last period was in December and I had sex a day before I was supposed to start my period in January. I haven't gained weight or had any signs of pregnancy. I've taken 3 home pregnancy tests which were all negative. Today I've been feeling dizzy, light-headed, and sick to my stomach. I have cramps every now and then but usually I will go to the bathroom and they stop. What could be wrong?

Hello,

First of all, you should undergo one blood test for beta-HCG and ultrasound scan at the earliest to exclude pregnancy. It also helps to rule out underlying pelvic pathology.

Other reasons are hormonal imbalance, irregular diet habit, stress/ anxiety, ovarian cyst, thyroid disturbance, increase prolactin level etc.

Here, you consult with your gynecologist after getting initial test reports to proceed other relevant investigation & next line of management.

Try to avoid mental stress, take healthy diet with Vitamin & iron supplements, maintain genital hygiene and take adequate bed rest.

Be well and take care.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The chances of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex.
You should consult a gynecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.
Symptoms may be because of pregnancy or hormonal changes or because of gastritis.
GOOD LUCK.
Take care.
