Help Needed: I would like to know whether I am really pregnant or not. What are the symptoms of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If there is truly no internal ejaculation, your chances of pregnancy are relatively low. Delayed menstruation may be related to your nervous regulation. Early pregnancy generally has the following symptoms: absence of menstruation. Healthy women's menstruation is usually regular, so if it doesn't come on time, the first thing to consider is the possibility of pregnancy. Generally, if menstruation is delayed by a week, a doctor can roughly detect pregnancy signs; if it's delayed by a month, pregnancy is more likely to be confirmed. Changes in appetite. Some women begin to experience changes in appetite shortly after menstruation (1–2 weeks), with some feeling completely uninterested in eating or even nausea, while others have a strong craving for sour foods. These symptoms usually naturally disappear after half a month to a month. Changes in the breasts. In the early stages of pregnancy, breasts may enlarge slightly and become firmer and heavier. There may be a sensation of fullness and tenderness. The areolas around the nipples, which are dark yellow and slightly granular, become more prominent. Frequent urination. Many women experience frequent urination in the early stages of pregnancy, sometimes as often as once per hour. This is a symptom that often occurs on its own.
