Hello ConcernedANDConfused,

Thank you for reaching out to us for advice.

Let's start with your menstrual cycle pattern. It sounds like you have a history of irregular periods, which can last five to seven days or longer. What do you mean by "depending on the strength of the cycle that month"?

The menstrual cycle is regulated by a precise balance of hormones. If your periods vary in length, that suggests a hormonal issue. Have you seen a gynecologist about this?

All of the above mentioned symptoms are not signs of early pregnancy. You would only be a few weeks, actually under one month, if indeed you are pregnant. Too early for lactation, or milk expressed from your breasts. Migraines are not a sign of pregnancy and I urge you to see a doctor about this.

Lastly, for the most accurate test result, you need to test using first urine upon waking up. If you work nights and sleep during the day, test when you wake up. That urine is concentrated and gives you the best result.

ConcernedANDConfused, my advice to you is to schedule an appointment with your doctor. In addition to a blood pregnancy test, your doctor can check you out and determine the cause of all your symptoms.

Regards,
Maryann
