What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Pregnancy?
my boobs have gradually been getting bigger, i was at one point extremely nauseous,dizzy when i stand up & my period has been abnormal for the past 2 months my period has only lasted for a day & my periods are always on time and always last for 3-4 days.(my family is known to have their periods during their early pregnancy) me and my boyfriend are sexually active so pregnancy is always a possibility. I am on birth control & have been for 3 years now. but i often forget to take it. I ve missed 3 days in a row before. well i was in Ohio and since me and my bf wouldn t be together for a few days and i was getting close to the inactive pills i went off of them to see if i would start early or at least spot. when i miss 2 days of my BC i either spot lightly or start my period. well i went off my BC on Wednesday of last week. so i haven t had a pill in a week & still no period. i tested last month & the test came up negative. so am i pregnant &/or should i be worried??

Hallow Dear,
You indeed have a peculiar familiar history of having bleeding at the time of expected menses even during pregnancy. Such bleeding in good old days was labelled as Placental sign. Very few women get such blood.
Since, you are experiencing only one day bleeding at the expected time of menses, your breasts have been engorged and you are experiencing nausea, the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ignored. Moreover, you have missed your birth control pills for 3+ days. The chances of pregnancy are very high. You should get the pregnancy confirmed.
Please get your urine tested for pregnancy. Also you may get ultrasonography done which will give a direct visual evidence of pregnancy. After 8 weeks, the clinical examination also gives reliable evidence of pregnancy.
If you do not want to continue with this pregnancy (if it is present) you may opt for Termination of pregnancy by medicines which is quite safe and successful up to 9 weeks of pregnancy.
After tests for diagnosing the pregnancy, you may contact me by Direct question for further guidance if needed.
All the best,
DR. Nishikant Shrotri
