Are delayed periods and sore breasts signs of pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 34 days late for my period and have regular periods otherwise. I have discharge, pimples, and sore breasts. I am currently taking the tablets Sertraline and Trazadone. Can I be pregnant?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Take a blood serum beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test to clear your pregnancy status. You have not mentioned your menstrual medical history, but stress, anxiety, work overload, hormonal imbalance, thyroid irregularities, illness, strict diet, strenuous exercise, and any hormonal intake can delay your periods. Kindly check all the above. In early pregnancy, a urine pregnancy test cannot detect pregnancy hormones, so better to have a blood test. In case of heavy bleeding, bleeding with abdominal pain, only abdominal pain, dizziness, or faintness, report to the hospital immediately to investigate pregnancy outside the uterus or threatened miscarriage report to the hospital immediately. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
