Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant, but it hasn’t happened yet. I had light spotting for three days from June 5th to June 7th, and now I’ve been feeling really nauseous, having frequent headaches, and feeling very bloated. On top of that, I’ve had acid reflux for the past two days, which is unusual for me. Could these be early pregnancy signs, or is something else going on?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. You haven’t mentioned whether you’ve missed a period, but you can still take a home pregnancy test to check. If positive, a scan will be needed to confirm the pregnancy and rule out any complications related to the bleeding. If the test is negative, the spotting could be due to a delayed or irregular period.

 

2. Acid reflux can sometimes occur in pregnancy but may also be unrelated. It’s best to confirm pregnancy first, and then address your symptoms accordingly. I recommend seeing a specialist for a scan and proper evaluation. They can also prescribe medication if needed for your acid reflux and other symptoms.

 

Thanks
