Am I confusing stress symptoms with early pregnancy symptoms Posted: 07-24-07 03:32am
Hello,
My question is slightly detailed..
I am wondering if I am confusing stress
symptoms with early pregnancy symptoms.
I have the headaches, the nausea for a 1
1/2 wks (only vomited once), fatigued,
bloated, emotional, lack of
appetite/craving things I know I wouldn't
normally enjoy, mainly the thing that is
the worst is the nausea.. sometimes I can
hardly talk without the feeling
intensifying.
I am under circumstances that could
greatly stress me out though, but I'm used
to a lot of stress too, and I wouldn't
normally react this way. Also.. I have
been put back on birth control I am on my
4th package now with 1 week left of pills.
I have been put on them to control my
PCOS. But I heard that PCOS can make it
difficult (different per individual of
course) to concieve.. so with the
combination of starting on birth control
again as well as having PCOS I'm wondering
if my symptoms could still be early
pregnancy? Or all in my head? What are the
chances with my medical history? Thx
=)

All the symptoms you describe (headaches,
nausea, fatigue, bloatiness, lack of
appetite…) manifest during many
different types of disorders and
conditions including pregnancy and
depression. Pregnancy can be confirmed or
excluded very simply-just do a home
pregnancy test. Sterility is one of the
symptoms of PCOS so pregnancy is a less
likely scenario than depression.
