Hey, it's Beth! I just want to let you know why some of you aren't
getting my answers to your emails. I do send an answer to every
email I get, but some of them come back "undeliverable" because
the email address you typed in isn't valid, or is missing completely.
If even one character is wrong or left out, I won't be able to
send you an answer. So if you want an answer, make sure
your email address is complete and correct. Thanks! |

I'm not really sure if I'm pregnant or not
Me and my husband have had unprotected sex the past 4 times. For about a week now I've had mild menstrual cramping and nausea. I had my period 17 days ago. Well, actually when the cramps started it was about 10 days after my last period. I've been have dizziness as well. What should I do?
Answer
Dear Katie - Sometimes ovulation can be accompanied by mild cramps, called "mittleschmirtz," along with the dizziness you mentioned. Once your next period is late by at least 7 days, you can do a home pregnancy test, then confirm the results with your doctor. In the meantime, I would suggest you discuss your symptoms with your doctor, in order to determine their cause. Beth
