Are delayed periods a symptom of pregnancy?

Answer 1

It's possible; Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue * nausea/vomiting * increased sense of smell * weight gain Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/ If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor if you are too concerned.

Answer 2

If your cycles are always accurate, this could be a sign of pregnancy. You should definitely go visit your doctor.

I am 8 days late and have taken 3 pregnancy tests that show negative. I had a little cramping the day I expected my period, but then it went away and came back 6 days later. As soon as my husband and I got home from work yesterday, I started to feel queasy. It kept coming and going as we went out to eat dinner. I don't really have any other symptoms except being tired. I am very confused. I don't have any symptoms of my period like I usually do like cramping a lot, bloating, fatigue. I bought another brand of home pregnancy test, and it said negative...but I have just a feeling something is different. I was at work putting away some barbeque sauce after a board meeting, and I was taken back my the smell. It triggered my gag reflex, and I had to leave the room. I love barbeque sauce. I can open the door to my apartment and smell the fragrance of my home at least from 2 doors down. I just wonder if this is all in my head. I haven't had my period for about 3 months...I don't know whether or not I am pregnant. I took two pregnancy tests and they came out negative...I think Im gonna go see a doctor now i am the same way. today my period is 1 month, 6 days late. i have taken many tests which all come out negative. i too, feel something isn't right. i am always dizzy now, and i feel so tired, i have frequent diarrhea and nausea. my body just doesnt feel the same anymore. i really believe that i may be one of those pregnant girls that lack the hormone to be detected on a test. soon i will know!! The first definitive sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Though this is not always correct everytime.

The reason could be due to hormone imbalance which stress or a varitey of other enviromental effects could have triggered which would works in an identical way as the pill does. The pill uses analougues (simalr molecular structures) of the hormones progesterone and oestrogen which will work the same way as the hormones by inhibiting further growth of the egg and maintaining the endometrium which therefore stopping ovulation as long as the hormones analogues are high in supply. If hormones such as these two are over produced or lutenising hormone is under produced this will cause the same effect as taking the pill until the body synthesises enough of this hormone to "over power" the others.

The second answerer sounds so like me with my first pregnancy (smells, tiredness and such) that I think she is pregnant. My period was due on 17th January and the home test didn't show positive until 3rd February. (MY birthday so I remember exactly)

Hi there. :-) During pregnancy a woman can not have a normal period. But you can experience light period bleeding around the time you would expect your period for the first three months. But any bleeding during early pregnancy does need to be reported to your doctor so they can make sure the pregnancy is progressing well and the Foetus is viable.

Answer 5

It is one of many possibilities. It could also be due to stress, your cycle could be synching with females around you, your body could be adjusting to Birth Control (whether you are starting or ending), etc... there are many factors of why you are delayed. If it has been more than 6 weeks since your last cycle, I would suggest seeing an OB/GYN because it could mean something more serious than pregnancy.

Answer 6

Yes, you can. Some women experience period like cramping during early pregnancy.
