Is Your Period Late?

If you’ve had unprotected (or even protected) sex and your period is late, you might be pregnant, though pregnancy experiences vary for each woman. Some women recognize early signs before missing a period, while others may not have symptoms for months.

Common early pregnancy symptoms include:

  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Tender/swollen breasts
  • Light spotting/bleeding
  • Cramping
  • Headaches
  • Sensitivity to smell
  • Frequent urination
  • Constipation/bloating
  • Mood swings/fatigue
  • Heartburn

However, other factors like stress, medication, or hormone issues can cause similar symptoms, so it’s not always pregnancy.
