last month (Aug 13th) was my last period date, and this month 17th i had been to hospital and the result came to be positive. but still i experience back pain and sometimes stomach ache and other symptoms of menses. Please help???

you aren't considered to be pregnant. you are.

I didn't know I was prego til after a couple of weeks late cuz my symptoms were the same as when I get my monthly…sore breasts, bloating, fatigue. I'm usually on time but never more than a week late, but I thought I was going to get my monthly because it was the exact same symptoms. around 4-5 weeks when I started the pre-natal vitamins I started getting the 24/7 morning sickness. Hope you don't get the morning sickness! good luck!

Many early pregnancy symptoms are the same as premenstrual. its normal.

When is the earliest time you can experience pregnancy symptoms? I'm not due to have my period until June 18th but already my chest is sore, im tired and peeing more. my last period was May 19th- help?

About 5 weeks pregnant I was sooooo exhausted. By the end of the day I was hardly able to get up the stairs to go to bed.

Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. for other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. if you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

well it all varies and depends on ther person. when i was pregnant i didn't have any symptoms at all. the only thing was that i had sore breast and i though that was b/c my period was due. what gave it away for me was that i was late by a week and my child father was the one that was getting sick all the time. it's funny he told me i was pregnant….

nausea and head aches

I started getting flu like symptoms about a week before i was due. I also noticed some chest soreness. But didnt know for sure until i was late because I wasnt expecting to be pregnant.

You may be pregnant but don't get your hopes up just yet. A sore chest could easily be simply from your period. my chest was never sore my entire pregnancy, although many women do. As for the peeing that normaly happens due to the pressure on the bladder, if you are peeing a lot more it may be due to an infection but this early on it wouldn't be from pregnancy. now the tired thing. That is very possibly a sign of pregnancy. That is what tipped me off when I was pregnant. good luck!

Relieve Night Sweats, Sleeplessness and more!

General description according to Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation. it marks the end of a woman’s fertility and therefore, ability to conceive and bear children. Menopause is derived from the Greek words pausis -cessation and the word men -month. it means the end of monthly cycles

In the West, the typical age for attaining menopause is between the ages of 45 and 55 and the average age for last period ever is 51 years. In the East, however, the median age of natural menopause is considerably earlier, at about 44 years. Genetics has a lot to do with the age “when” menopause hits. if your grandmother got hers in the late 40′s, chances are you will too.

Common symptoms Common symptoms: Menopause, or the period after the last period, is marked by some physiological and psychological changes. the most well-known symptom of impending menopause is the “hot flash” or “hot flush”, a sudden, temporary increase in body temperature. the “flash” sensation occurs as the body temperature rises sharply and almost instantaneously begins to slowly return to normal.

Along with the hot flushes is irregular, heavy, or prolonged periods and severe stomach cramps.

All of these combine to create mood swings and even depression.

Perimenopause problems Perimenopause is the transitional period from normal menstrual periods to zero periods. This transition may take up to ten years. during the perimenopausal phase, you may experience a combination of PMS and menopausal symptoms. during this phase, many women undergo bodily changes resulting from hormonal fluctuation. Hot flashes may leave the sufferer feeling weak and break out in heavy sweating. despite the discomfort, hot flashes are not considered harmful. Flashes can, however, be eased through Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and herbal remedies.

Common problems are

mood changeschanges in sexual desiredifficulty in concentratingheadachesnight sweatshot flashessleep disturbancesjoint and muscle achesextreme sweatingfrequent urinationsimilar symptoms as experienced with premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Even women who are free of the troublesome physical effects of perimenopause may suffer from psychological stress. many women feel they will no longer be desirable once menopause has set in.

Post-menopause problems once the last period of a woman’s life is over, many new problems crop up. many women start experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance anywhere from their early 30s to their late 40s. Levels of estrogen and progesterone – the essential female hormones – dip, triggering a range of problems.

Common problems are

Weight gainDecreased sexual desireVaginal drynessIncrease in facial hair as testosterone is now able to exert more powerIncontinence as muscles surrounding the bladder weakenSlowing down of mental processesReduced bone density

In the long term, post-menopausal women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis and more prone to heart attacks.

I'm 42. my mother started menopause at 60 (yes, really!) my sister is starting to show some signs of perimenopause at 47.

My cycle used to be 35 days. for the past two years or so it's been 31. The last few months it's been 28.

Okay, now here's the new part.
For the past 2 1/2 weeks I've felt extremely pregnant. very sore breasts, very heavy uterus. every day I feel like when I go to the washroom I'm going to see a red spot, but it never comes. Been averse to some smells. Been fatigued.
The only times I've experienced this is when I was pregnant, both times. second baby I knew I was pregnant long before period was due, and kept taking negative tests but knew they were wrong, and they were!

It's now 29 days since my last period started, so I'm not exactly late.

Oh yes, and my husband had a vasectomy a few years ago but never tested to see if he still had swimmers.

So what do you think? Pregnant, or perimenopause symptoms?

sounds like pregnancy.
