• Pregnancy concern?

Hi, I have not gotten my period this month and I’m 4 days late. I’ve taken 3/4 pregnancy test and they are negative. I do have a lot of cravings, very tired, a headache right now and just lazy with my boob itching. I was on the copper IUD for 6 years, almost 7 got it removed 12/21/20 and have been trying to get pregnant and haven’t gotten pregnant. Don’t know if this time I am pregnant but confused on where’s my period. It’s never 4/5 days late. Max is 3.

You have some symptoms of pregnancy. You can go to a clinic or your primary care physician & get a pregnancy test. If your pregnancy test is negative, consider seeing an ob/gyn for further management.

Good luck,

Thanks for your question.

So, a woman not on birth control can get one to two abnormal cycles a year. you can skip one or have an extra one. The best way to see would be a blood pregnancy test. However, you should not be on the Lisinopril with trying to get pregnant. That has to be switched to something else right away.

Repeat pregnancy test in 1 week again.
Take care!
