Could menopause and pregnancy have the same effects?

Gidget

Missed my period, am two weeks late. Not a sign of being pregnant. My periods have been irregular as I grow older. Could this be it or am pregnant? No spotting either. No breast tenderness as I do when am approaching my periods either, with just a little bit of cramping for two weeks now. Are EPT's reliable, and which is a reliable brand?



Jamison

Yes...they are often confused constantly! In fact I watched a Baby Story (I believe) about one woman who never knew she was pregnant, mistaking it all for just menopause. EPT's are reliable. I always used that brand.

I am wondering if anyone out there gets chest pains as a symptom of menopause?

Dawna

I am in the heat of menopause - I have no heart problems but get chest pains. Has anyone ever heard of this as a symptom?



Alexis

No. Get it checked at the doctor's.
