possible pregnancy?

[honeybee277]

Hii, well let me just start off with my period last week... I normally have a 27-28 day cycle and It lasts 5 days and is extremely heavy at first with clots. Well my period this time was lighter than normal, and no clots really and lasted 3 days then stopped completly for a day, then around dinner time the next day came back for and hour and then was gone.  Well a couple days later I started feeling sick and slight weird cramping and I've been tired a lot, and headaches almost every day. Id get a fever on and off through out the days. It's currently day 7 and I'm bloated and I have a loss of appetite and also weird slight cramping on and off and if I press on my lower ab. I feel sick for a minute. I have had unprotected sex a little over a month ago. Oh, and I've been very moody. I don't know if I could be possibly pregnant. I need some help.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would recommend a pregnancy test. These are easy to do and you can purchase them at any drug store.  If the test is negative, I would wonder about some type of viral gastroenteriitis because fever is not associated with pregnancy.
You should check in with your primary care provider if your symptoms persist.
Good luck!

I had a fever for like two weeks straight,  and now off an on had a fever! A low grade fever is an early sign of pregnancy in some women!  That's how I found out I was pregnant! My fever ranged from 99.1-99.6!

Thank you Dr. B, I'm going to take one this week. But Yeah the fever is weird. Comes and goes.  But thank you very much!

If u have had unprotected sex then ur best to do a test as you can still have periods whilst pregnant.
