this might sound weird but my drive has been suddenly very high since last week and my period is also a bit late. matlab can hormones do this in early pregnancy? just curious if anyone else noticed this before testing.
Oh absolutely, and please don't feel awkward about it at all! Our bodies are doing beautiful, magical things, and feeling this way is completely natural.
Personally, I felt a huge sudden spike in my drive during the first few weeks, which is what made me suspect I was pregnant! It turned out to be my very first symptom.
Medically, the surge in estrogen and progesterone, along with increased blood flow to the pelvic area, can cause high libido. My doctor told me it's a very common hormonal response in the early weeks.
It can certainly be a sign due to the early hormone rush. Enjoy this time, because after delivery and especially if you have a c-section, your body will take a long time to feel normal again.
While increased libido is a known hormonal symptom, it isn't a definitive diagnostic tool. The only reliable way to confirm is by taking a home urine test or getting a beta-hCG blood test done.
