Recent Changes in Menstrual Cycle & Possible Pregnancy Signs: A Detailed Overview


Question
I just wanted to let you know a couple more things about my situation that i forgot.  I've only been on birth control since August of 2006, so only 2 1/2 months.  My breasts off and on have been tender (mostly nipples) and seem to be a little fuller :)  I've been having a little cramping, but real mild.  Let's see, what else.  Oh yes, I'm ALWAYS hungry!  Ok, maybe not always, but my appetite does seem to have increased.  I've been really tired the past 2 weeks or so, and this past week I've been extremely emotional (my poor husband had to put up with me crying the past 3 nights in a row!)  These things may all be random, but I just thought they might help you out a bit:)  Thanks Kristy!

Answer
Hi Ayla!

Your symptoms definately sound pregnancy related. However, when there is a hormonal imbalance, symptoms will mimic pregnancy to a tee. So its really hard to decipher if its a pregnancy related issue, or just hormones that are off balanced.

I still think you should test yourself, as I suggested in the other letter to you. At this point, you will get an accurate, reliable result.

If you are not pregnant, then this is just a direct result of your hormones causing havoc with your cycle...and it will calm down as your hormones return to normal.

I know that you want to get pregnant, so I will keep my fingers crossed that this is a pregnancy issue, and not a hormonal imbalance!

If you have any more questions, please dont hesitate to write back :)
