The symptoms you reported (vomiting, sore breasts, fatigue, food cravings and constipation) are considered as being only probable pregnancy symptoms. To definitely confirm pregnancy, a physical examination, hormonal laboratory tests, and an ultrasound scan are used. Therefore, it cannot be determined for sure whether you were pregnant or not.


The heavy bleeding and the longer period for one day are still within the normal variations of a woman’s period. The production of progesteron from the corpus luteus, which is formed after ovulation, prepares the uterus and the whole body for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, then the corpus luteus would decompose and the production of progesterone would lower. The peak of the progesterone production is right before the start of the period. As a matter of fact, the sudden decline in the progesterone production is the signal to start the detachment of the inner uterine lining, which is actually the menstrual period.


If the bleeding stops and the symptoms repeat the next month then you might want to visit your gynecologist to check if there is a change in the hormonal production.
