What are the symptoms of pregnancy?
Patient: Hi, i had unprotected sex (due to the condoms not fitting and falling off before we realised) on the 01/01/11 at 1am in the morning and since no chemists were open, i had to wait till 3pm on 02/01/11 to get the MAP. 5 days later, the first condom fell out while I was peeing (we couldn t find it so we used another and then that kept coming off) So then 1 1/2 weeks later I had menstrul bleeding (kind of like a period) and it lasted 4 days, wasn t painful. It is now the 02/02/11 and I have had a few tickle pains, nausea but no vomiting, no discharge, hungry cravings (i wanted prawn chips lol) i am drinking 3 ltrs of water a day! I can t stop drinking and I actually hav lost a few kgs. My feet are swelling and I am tired and feel dizziness! I have done 3 pregnancy tests already (1 week part from each other) and they are all negative? So why am i feeling so weird? I did go to my doctor and he has asked me to come back again in 1 month (He did a test and it was negative too). He said nothing serious but that I might have a low count of hcg and pregnancy will be harder to pick up on? Also I am anemic so blood test was out of the question cause I d pass out and he said that if I am pregnant it would be a little risky (he knowing me so well lol) Doctor: HiDr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.You had your periods, and urine test is also negative, this rules out pregnancy.The food cravings and other symptoms that you are getting can be various vitamin and mineral deficiencies or Simply premenstrual syndrome- PMS.Tab B LONG F once at night for 3 months will be of help.I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet. Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.Also,have FOLIC ACID, B12, Iron supplements, it will take care of your anemia.I hope my answer helps you.Thanks.Wish you great health.
