Is feeling extremely tired before your period a sign of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of early pregnancy, which typically occur in the first three months of pregnancy, include the following:
A. Delayed menstruation. If a person with a regular menstrual cycle experiences a delay of 10 days, they should consider the possibility of pregnancy.
B. Morning sickness, such as nausea, vomiting, a preference for sour foods, or aversion to greasy foods, usually appears around the 6th week.
C. Frequent urination, which disappears after the 12th week.
The severity of these symptoms varies from person to person. Therefore, if menstruation is delayed, do not wait until symptoms B and C appear before seeking medical attention, as this may delay diagnosis.
