What if you have not had a period in 6 weeks and are pregnant?
If you have not had a period in 6 weeks and are pregnant, it is important to see a healthcare provider as soon as possible. This is because there may be complications with the pregnancy, such as a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
Some signs and symptoms that you may be experiencing if you are pregnant include:
* Missed period
* Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness)
* Breast tenderness
* Frequent urination
* Fatigue
* Mood swings
* Constipation
* Headaches
* Back pain
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider to confirm whether or not you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, your healthcare provider will be able to provide you with prenatal care and monitor the pregnancy for any complications.
It is also important to note that if you are not pregnant, there may be other underlying causes for your missed period. These causes may include:
* Stress
* Weight loss
* Weight gain
* Excessive exercise
* Medications
* Medical conditions, such as thyroid problems or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
If you are not pregnant and you have missed a period, it is important to see a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying causes.
