10 EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS WHICH APPEAR BEFORE MISSING A PERIOD

Many women experience the first pregnancy symptoms days before missing a period as a result of the shift in the hormones, which causes certain changes in the body.
The first pregnancy symptoms can occur up to a week before a sufficient number of pregnancy hormones starts to circulate in the body to give a positive result on the pregnancy test. Here are the earliest symptoms of pregnancy, which appear before a missed period.

Pregnancy Symptoms

Cramping
Cramping is one of the earliest symptoms of pregnancy. The cramps can be noticed when your embryo implants into your uterus. This sign can be easily mistaken for menstrual cramps.

Fatigue
Increased levels of progesterone can make you feel exhausted. Fatigue is usually experienced as early as a week after ovulation. After you ovulate, the levels of progesterone rise, regardless of being pregnant or not.
However, if you are not pregnant your progesterone levels will soon decrease. After ovulation, if you start feeling tired, and if the exhaustion doesn’t improve, you might be pregnant.

Headaches
During early pregnancy, headaches are triggered by hormonal changes. The headaches are caused by the sudden increment of progesterone and estrogen levels.
Migraines, on the other hand, occur as a result of the high blood pressure that some women experience during pregnancy.

Darker Areolas
Certain changes in the breasts can occur a week after conception. During this period, your areolas might turn dark. Apart from looking darker, they can also grow in diameter. These changes appear because your breasts are preparing for breastfeeding.

Breast Sensitivity
Some women experience tenderness in their breasts around the time they ovulate. The breast sensitivity results from hormonal changes, and it can occur even if you are not pregnant.
However, the hormonal changes are more intense in the early pregnancy than during your menstrual cycle.

Insomnia
The increased levels of estrogen and progesterone can be responsible for causing insomnia. The problems with insomnia can occur three weeks after conceiving.

Constipation
In the early pregnancy, the hormonal changes can slow down your digestive system, which can cause constipation. However, the hormones can affect the women differently and, in some rare cases, they can have the opposite problem, diarrhea.

Frequent Urination
During pregnancy, your kidneys work harder to process the excess fluids, which can be responsible for increasing the frequency of urinating.
Also, the growth of your uterus may put an extra pressure on your bladder, reducing the space for the urine.

Food Aversions
Food cravings are a popular pregnancy symptom, but they don’t occur in the early pregnancy. During this time, you are likely to experience food aversions.
In case you notice that certain foods are not as tasteful as they used to be, or if you no longer find your morning cup of coffee appealing, you might be pregnant.

Mood Swings
Pregnancy mood swings are similar to those resulting from PMS. However, during the early pregnancy, you are likely to feel unusually emotional, rather than angry and irritated.

First Birth Control For Men, An Injection To The Groin, Will Be Available Soon

The use of contraceptives has been largely associated with women, but birth control for men might soon be available for use after Indian scientists announced that they have successfully completed clinical trials on the world’s first male birth control injection. The Indian Council for Medical Research said that the “product is ready,” and has a 97.3% success rate with no side effects, according to a report from the Hindustan Times. The contraceptive works via an injection to the vas deferens, the sperm-containing tube near the testicles. It contains a polymer called Steryene Maleic Anhydride, which was developed in the 1970s to inhibit sperm production. According to the report, the contraceptive will be effective for 13 years. VG Somani, the Drug Controller General of India, estimates approval of the drug to take around six months, minimum. “It’s the first in the world from India so we have to be extra careful about approval. We are looking at all aspects, especiall...

Novartis sickle-cell drug gets U.S. FDA approval

By John Miller and Carl O’Donnell (Reuters) - Novartis AG on Friday won U.S. approval for its experimental sickle cell disease drug, Adakveo, making it the first of several proposed new therapies designed to offer lasting relief for patients with the debilitating blood disease to get U.S. regulatory clearance. The drug will be priced between $84,852 and $113,136 per year for most patients, who will be infused by a healthcare provider with between three and four vials each month, Novartis said. The biologic drug, also known as crizanlizumab, was shown in trials in its high-dose formula to cut sickle cell pain crises nearly by half to 1.63 incidents annually from 2.98 in those getting a placebo. The Food and Drug Administration’s approval came nearly two months ahead of its due date for a decision in January. Novartis has forecast that the drug’s annual sales will top $1 billion, much of which will likely come from U.S. government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid. The dru...
