Nausea After Last Menstrual Period: Possible Pregnancy?


Question
Age 30. No children. Date of first day of last menstrual period was Feb 15. I experienced mild nausea for a week, and it is now dissipating.  Is this normal or should I be concerned?  If nausea is intermittent, how many days in between episodes are normal?

Answer
Nausea is never normal, unless you are pregnant. If your last period started on February 15, you probably ovulated on February 28 and could have conceived if you had sex on February 27,28,29, or 30. Nausea of pregnancy usually startds a few days after conception. You didn't say when you started the nausea. Nausea could have been due to some gastroenteritis or a stomach virus, as well.
