Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do if I'm 2 months pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The signs of pregnancy are a missed period. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and you have had sexual intercourse without using contraception, you should suspect pregnancy if your period is delayed by 10 days. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, you should also look for other signs. Women of childbearing age who have a regular menstrual cycle should consider pregnancy if they experience a missed period. After a missed period, symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, chills, loss of appetite, varying degrees of nausea, food cravings (such as a preference for sour foods or aversion to greasy and strong odors), changes in appetite and preferences (sometimes wanting one thing and then another, suddenly losing interest in foods you usually enjoy, or developing a craving for foods you previously disliked), and even vomiting may occur. Severe cases may also include breast tenderness, darkening and tingling of the nipples and areolas, and frequent urination. These symptoms generally indicate pregnancy.
