i have taken duphaston at day 17 after my last period i took two pills for 10 days and then after 6 days of stopping i have been feeling like sick and my body temperature rises and i still feel like i need a blanket i think i might be pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell...: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If fever occurs, a doctor can check for a typical illness or infection.

Question 10

5 to 7 days before period i start to have reflux, severe nausea, jittery, insomnia, loss of appetite and elevated body temperature, hot flashes chills?

Accepted Answer

Premenstrual: If these symptoms occur each and every month in conjunction with your periods, they may well be mediated by the hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. Treatment would be symptomatic with bland,low fat, low salt diet, flat ginger ale to relieve nausea and Tylenol (acetaminophen). Discuss this with your gynecologist if you have further concerns.
