The difference between delayed menstruation and pregnancy

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the first sign of pregnancy is that menstruation stops. Many pregnant women will calculate whether they are pregnant based on their menstruation and buy a pregnancy test stick to find out that they are pregnant. However, some people's menstruation is particularly accurate. If they don't know the difference between delayed menstruation and pregnancy, it is easy to be pregnant without knowing it, and they will eat some food and take medicine randomly. So what is the difference between delayed menstruation and pregnancy? Let me introduce it to you below.

Pregnancy: The body temperature will continue to rise and remain in the range of 36.9℃~37.2℃, and will only drop after three months.

Menstrual period: The body temperature of women of childbearing age may rise by 0.3~0.5℃ after ovulation and return to normal after the end of menstruation.

Difference 2: Easily tired

Pregnancy: Pregnant women tend to feel more tired and always feel like they are not getting enough sleep.

Menstrual period: Although women may experience drowsiness during menstruation, it usually returns to normal within 1 to 2 days, and most of the time it is caused by dysmenorrhea.

Difference 3: Backache

Pregnancy: There will be no symptoms of back pain in the early stages of pregnancy, only in the late stages of pregnancy.

Menstrual period: Women generally feel back pain during menstruation.

Pregnancy: The breasts will feel tingling, swelling, itching, the areola will become darker in color, the veins under the skin of the breasts will become obvious, the nipples will be noticeably protruding, etc.

Menstrual period: There are small nodules in the breasts, which are painful to touch. The pain is relieved after menstruation, but will reappear before the next menstruation.

Difference 5: Appetite

Pregnancy: Many women experience nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy, especially in the morning. Some women experience mild symptoms, while others may be quite severe.

Menstrual period: Your appetite during this period needs to be compared with that before menstruation. Some people have a greatly increased appetite, some prefer spicy food, and some people will suffer from anorexia due to various discomforts before menstruation.

Difference 6: Vaginal mucosal discoloration

Pregnancy: The vaginal mucosa may appear a darker color due to congestion.

Menstrual period: A woman's vaginal mucosa generally remains lighter in color during her menstrual period or before pregnancy.

Difference 7: Frequent urination

Pregnancy: During the first three months of pregnancy, the bladder is compressed, causing its capacity to decrease, so frequent urination is common.

Menstrual period: Generally, there will be no frequent urination during menstruation.

Pregnancy: Skin pigmentation or stretch marks may occur during pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

Menstruation: Some women's skin will become dark, oily, and acne-prone during menstruation, but the skin will return to normal after menstruation.

These 8 small differences can help you determine whether you are pregnant or your period is delayed by careful observation. Isn't it very useful?
