What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Pregnancy?

Hey, My boyfriend and I think I might be pregnant. So usually my period starts around the 23rd of each month. Only last 4 to 5 days. I ended up starting to bleed yesterday in the afternoon. It was a light pinkish color. Then went to a brownish, maybe a little reddish color. Today the bleeding became a little more heavier and more reddish. But not as heavy as my period usually is. I been having symptoms like, Tiredness, swollen/soft(tender) breast, a little bit of food cravings, cramping, and last night I went out to eat with my boyfriend and I got a grilled tenderloin with mashed potatoes and gravy. I could not hardly eat that much. I felt if I ate anymore I was going to get sick and puke. ??

Hello,
If you have always had regular monthly cycles, if you have had unprotected intercourse around your fertile days, you can test for pregnancy using home pregnancy test kit 3-7 days after the expected date. Since you are bleeding slightly, it would be a better idea to go for an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres. This gives a better clarification. Your symptoms can happen with a hormone imbalance as well as a very early pregnancy. A sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route, also helps to exclude pregnancy. Hope this helps.
