Hi, my name is Kate Im 19 years old. Ive been sexually active this last one month and during intercourse my husband never used condoms. And these last 2 weeks I have this crazy headache, tensed eyes, backache down to my thighs, I also felt so sick although not vomiting and I also have continual fatigue. My question is, could I be pregnant? Thanks for ur answer.
Hello Ms. Kate, Your symptoms are not specific for pregnancy. They can be due to other conditions as well as premenstrual state, mild infections in the pelvis, anemia and so on. If you have always been regular with your cycles and now have a missed period, you can go for a HPT 3-7 days later. Else, you can also get a blood test for pregnancy not earlier than one week after ovulation and this is the earliest way now to confirm/exclude pregnancy and is also very sensitive. Further management can be planned accordingly. Hope this helps.
