1. Delay of Menstruation
Haven't had your period? While this is definitely a sign you may be pregnant, other possible causes could be excessive weight gain or loss; fatigue; hormonal problems; tension; stress; going off the birth control pill; and breastfeeding. If there's a chance you may be pregnant, it may be a good idea to take a home pregnancy test.
What Causes This Symptom during Pregnancy?
After fertilization occurs the egg travels from the fallopian tube to the uterus. It attaches to the lining of the uterus, and then the placenta starts to form. This contact between the egg and the uterus triggers the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, which means no more periods.
