Signs some women notice

Light spotting, mild cramping, tender breasts, fatigue. These overlap with premenstrual symptoms, so only a test can tell.

When to call a doctor

Heavy bleeding, severe pain on one side or dizziness need urgent care because they can signal a problem such as ectopic pregnancy. This calculator is for education and is not medical advice. Your own doctor, midwife or pediatrician should guide decisions about your care.
