Patient's question:
Last month after my period, I had sex with my husband because I wanted a baby and didn't use any form of protection. This month, my period is a few days late and I'm still feeling dizzy and nauseous. My husband is very worried and is preparing to go to the hospital for a check-up, but he's unsure if it's the right time. What kind of help do I need: When do pregnancy symptoms start?Doctor's answer:
Typically, in clinical practice, pregnancy duration is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Around 6 weeks after a missed period, early pregnancy symptoms may appear, such as chills, salivation, nausea, loss of appetite, aversion to greasy foods, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, a preference for sour foods, and morning vomiting. The breasts may feel tingling, swollen, and itchy. Fatigue and sleepiness are common, as well as frequent urination.
