Is the feeling of early pregnancy the same as the feeling of the first menstrual period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Women who are more sensitive in the early stages of pregnancy may experience symptoms similar to premenstrual pain. These symptoms are not very severe, and some may also be accompanied by a decrease in appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and sleepiness, which are common pregnancy symptoms. However, it is difficult to determine pregnancy based solely on these self-reported symptoms. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and blood test to measure hCG levels.
