Cessation of regular menstruation in women of childbearing age in the absence of contraception almost always means pregnancy. With an irregular cycle, other, probable and accurate signs indicate the onset of pregnancy.
Instructions
Step 1
A likely sign is a change in the nature of menstruation. Menses can be profuse or vice versa - extremely scarce. Similar disorders are also found in various gynecological diseases. To clarify the diagnosis, contact your gynecologist.
Step 2
Nausea in the morning can be a sign of early pregnancy toxicosis or a symptom of diseases of the digestive system. However, digestive pathology is also characterized by other symptoms that are not related to pregnancy. If you start to be bothered by nausea in the morning, contact your gastroenterologist to clarify the diagnosis.
Step 3
More likely signs of pregnancy include pigmentation in areas of the body - the nipples, lines along the abdomen. This happens due to an increase in the level of melanin; after childbirth, such phenomena disappear on their own. If unusual spots appear on the body, do a test for and undergo an ultrasound of the uterine cavity.
Step 4
The growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic organs, in particular on the bladder, so often a pregnant woman begins to experience frequent urge to urinate. Similar symptoms occur with inflammation of the genitourinary organs (urethritis, cystitis) and are usually accompanied by pain and burning. To clarify the diagnosis, take urine tests.
Step 5
Many women who are expecting a child experience a change in taste preferences. Suddenly, they start to like unusual food combinations or have a desire to eat raw vegetables (for example, potatoes or beets), meat, lime. If you notice such changes in yourself, take a pregnancy test.
Step 6
The most accurate signs of pregnancy are the presence of hCG in the blood or urine and the presence of a fetus in the uterine cavity. Take a pregnancy test at home, if the result is doubtful, donate blood for hCG. A positive result means either pregnancy or the presence of a hormone-producing ovarian tumor. You can finally confirm the presence of the fetus by ultrasound. Take this test.
