hey, so lately i have noticed an increase in my appetite as well as in my breast size. My breast feel heavy and tender and ive been extremely tired although ive been getting adequate rest at nights and naps during the day. To top it off my period was a lot lighter and shorter this month than ever before. I'm so confused what can be causing these symptoms any advice?
Well...........are you having unprotected sex? I guess that would be the first question.
Although unusual, one can have a slight period while in the early stages of pregnancy, it's not really a period tho. A marked increase in appetite and a growing change to the breast also indicates that pregnancy is possible. Lethargy is one more added clue.
When do you expect your next period? Hold off and see if you miss it then take an HPT or see your Obgyn for some blood work. Try and think back to when you had sex, the time that you think you may have conceived. Ovulation usually begins around the 14th day after the first day of your last period. Hypathetically speaking, if you started your period on the 1st. of July, you could expect to ovulate on or around July 14th. There are only 2 good days in there when you could conceive but remember live sperm will stay in the female body for a few days after ejaculation. So even if you had unprotected sex on the 11th. Of July, those little sperm are laying in wait to grab onto one of your eggs.
