Dear Ask The Doctor: I was supposed to start my period last Friday I only spotted for one day. Now I'm four days late, and having slight symptoms. My breast are swollen, tender, and sensitive, my sense of smell is different, I feel bloated. Could I be pregnant?
Dear Amanda: I understand your concern about possible pregnancy. Definitely it could be considered an option but sometimes it is normal to have an early or late presentation of menses with no reason.I would suggest you to wait a week after your menses due date and take a Home Pregnancy Test. It would be better to use the first urine of the day, as soon as you wake up. If a positive result is given, you might want to confirm it with a Blood Pregnancy test done by your primary care physician. If a negative result occurs and your menses dont show up for more than a week, you might want to consult your Gynecologist for Hormonal Imbalance, some common causes are change in Diet, Exercise or stress. I wish you the best. |
