Im 44 and my periods have become irregular, plus mild nausea and tiredness. Now im confused matlab is it perimenopause starting ya could it be pregnancy? Both feel kind of similar na. Anyone been through this?
Yes, the hormonal fluctuations can make you feel bloated and tired, which mimics pregnancy. I only managed my bloating through daily walking once my doctor gave me the go-ahead.
Yes, they can feel the same. Instead of going for expensive clinical tests immediately, just buy a basic home pregnancy kit to rule out pregnancy first.
Actually, yes, they feel very similar with missed periods and mood swings. To save time and avoid confusion, just take a home pregnancy test first instead of guessing.
They absolutely do feel similar! When I asked my doctor at the hospital, they explained that both involve major hormonal shifts, so asking your gynac for a blood test is the best way to be sure.
I know how stressful and scary it is when your body starts behaving differently and you don't know why. Yes, the symptoms overlap a lot, so please be gentle on yourself.
