You and your partner are trying to conceive. You’ve had unprotected sex during your fertility window and now you’re eagerly anticipating those early pregnancy symptoms. Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and the only way to know for sure if you’re pregnant or not is to take a pregnancy test.
A missed period is usually one of the first signs of pregnancy. Most at-home pregnancy tests recommend waiting until the first day of your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test. Our nurses and pregnancy educators find that when women test within a day or two of their missed periods they may get an inaccurate negative result. We recommend testing after being seven days late.
This is because it’s considered normal to start your period anytime from seven days before to seven days after it’s due and still be within the “normal” time frame. Pregnancy tests work best when the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has built up in your system. This usually happens around 11 – 12 days after ovulation. Most women get their period around 14 days after ovulation.
Are you experiencing these early signs of pregnancy?
As we said, the most significant pregnancy symptom is a missed period, but you could experience other early pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception:

Are you wondering if you might be pregnant? The only way to know for sure is by taking a pregnancy test .
But there are early symptoms of pregnancy that may point to the possibility. Here's what to look for.
Every woman is different. So are their experiences of pregnancy. Not every woman has the same symptoms or even the same symptoms from one pregnancy to the next.
Also, because the early symptoms of pregnancy often mimic the symptoms you might experience right before and during menstruation , you may not realize you're pregnant.
What follows is a description of some of the most common early symptoms of pregnancy . You should know that these symptoms may be caused by other things besides being pregnant. So the fact that you notice some of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. The only way to tell for sure is with a pregnancy test.
After conception , the fertilized egg attaches itself to wall of the uterus. This can cause one of the earliest signs of pregnancy -- spotting and, sometimes, cramping.
That's called implantation bleeding . It occurs anywhere from six to 12 days after the egg is fertilized.
The cramps resemble menstrual cramps , so some women mistake them and the bleeding for the start of their period. The bleeding and cramps, however, are slight.
Besides bleeding, a woman may notice a white, milky discharge from their vagina . That's related to the thickening of the vagina 's walls, which starts almost immediately after conception . The increased growth of cells lining the vagina causes the discharge.
This discharge, which can continue throughout pregnancy, is typically harmless and doesn't require treatment. But if there is a bad smell related to the discharge or a burning and itching sensation, tell your doctor so they can check on whether you have a yeast or bacterial infection .
Breast changes are another very early sign of pregnancy. A woman's hormone levels rapidly change after conception . Because of the changes, their breasts may become swollen, sore, or tingly a week or two later. Or they may feel heavier or fuller or feel tender to the touch. The area around the nipples, called the areola, may also darken.
Other things could cause breast changes. But if the changes are an early symptom of pregnancy, keep in mind that it is going to take several weeks to get used to the new levels of hormones. But when it does, breast pain should ease up.
Feeling very tired is normal in pregnancy, starting early on.
A woman can start feeling unusually fatigued as soon as one week after conceiving.
Why? It's often related to a high level of a hormone called progesterone , although other things -- such as lower levels of blood sugar, lower blood pressure , and a boost in blood production -- can all contribute.
If fatigue is related to pregnancy, it's important to get plenty of rest. Eating foods that are rich in protein and iron can help offset it.
Morning sickness is a famous symptom of pregnancy. But not every pregnant woman gets it.
The exact cause of morning sickness is not known but pregnancy hormones likely contribute to this symptom. Nausea during pregnancy may occur at any time of the day but most commonly in the morning.
Also, some women crave, or can't stand, certain foods when they become pregnant. That's also related to hormonal changes. The effect can be so strong that even the thought of what used to be a favorite food can turn a pregnant woman's stomach .
It's possible that the nausea , cravings, and food aversions can last for the entire pregnancy. Fortunately, the symptoms lessen for many women at about the 13th or 14th week of their pregnancy.
In the meantime, be sure to eat a healthy diet so that you and your developing baby get essential nutrients. You can talk to your doctor for advice on that.
The most obvious early symptom of pregnancy -- and the one that prompts most women to get a pregnancy test -- is a missed period . But not all missed or delayed periods are caused by pregnancy.
Also, women can experience some bleeding during pregnancy . If you are pregnant, ask your doctor what you should be aware of with bleeding. For example, when is bleeding normal and when is it a sign of an emergency?
There are reasons, besides pregnancy, for missing a period. it might be that you gained or lost too much weight . Hormonal problems, fatigue , or stress are other possibilities. Some women miss their period when they stop taking birth control pills . But if a period is late and pregnancy is a possibility, you may want to get a pregnancy test.
Pregnancy brings changes in your hormonal balance. And that can cause other symptoms that include:
A pregnant woman could have all of these symptoms, or maybe have only one or two. If any of these symptoms become bothersome, talk with your doctor about them so you can make a plan to offset them.
