Early Signs of Pregnancy: 12 Pregnancy Symptoms
on May 22, 2012
by Lucy Eades
Think you might be pregnant? Congratulations may be in order if you have any of the following 12 pregnancy symptoms.
The more pregnancy symptoms you experience, the more likelihood you’re pregnant. So let’s go over some of the most well-known pregnancy symptoms.
An increase in cervical mucus happens when your uterus thickens. This can happen almost immediately.
Implantation bleeding – For women who are in tune with their body, or they’re trying to conceive, this could be one of the first symptoms you may ever see. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here This can take place anywhere between 6 to 12 days past ovulation and usually you will experience a little spotting and then color of tan to light pink.
Missed period – This is the most common sign for women everywhere.
Your breast may feel sore, tingly or tender and this can happen as early as 1 to 2 weeks after ovulation.
This may happen as early as 1 week after ovulation and it’s usually as result of an increase hormone called progesterone that results in you feeling exhausted.
Morning sickness can happen at anytime. Day or night, once a day or multiple times a day.
Along with morning sickness comes food cravings and aversions. You may find certain smells turn your stomach upside down and into knots while other times you’re craving a specific candy bar at 2am bugging your husband to go to a gas station. Not that I have ever done such a thing.
You may experience anywhere from dull to chronic back ache as well as mild to moderate head aches all throughout your pregnancy. However a promise – it’s so worth it in the long run.
At about 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making more and more chirps to the bathroom day and night.
Now this is the one that you find husbands talking the most about. Unfortunately, there’s an increase in our hormones almost like a flood if you will, that can leave us feeling a little bit all over the place and sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with all these emotions.
There’s an increase in the hormone progesterone and it causes food to pass more slowly through our intestines which can result in constipation.
Now this is a symptom that the majority of us don’t expect but standing for long periods, standing up too quick, going up the stairs can make you feel a little woozy and lightheaded and that’s because of your uterus. As it swells, it compresses the arteries in your legs, dropping your blood pressure, causing you to feel a little woozy.
You may experience all the symptoms or you may experience some of the symptoms but don’t rely on just the pregnancy symptoms. Always go follow though with taking home pregnancy tests. Until next time ladies! See you later. Bye!

I had my cycle last week came on two days later then before and ended one day early. I woke up
Tuesday morning with a headache and feeling dizzy and vomiting. It is now 2
days later and I’ve still been throwing up. Is it possible to be
pregnant this early?
i really want ti get pregnant and im young so that should be easy but ive been trying for six months
i dont kno if im just being paranoid lately but i been cramping and a little constipated and super hungry my nipples more sensitive than normal and kinda bloated i did have headaches back to back at first but now im ok and i get a tad bit queazy i think i might be pregnant but i had my period a couple weeks ago it was a day later and it was a little short and lighter then normal but i just dont kno for sure
Generally, it is best to improve your health before trying to conceive. Things like regular moderate exercise; healthy eating, avoiding contact with chemicals and normalizing your weight can help enormously in trying to conceive. Reducing (or better still eliminating) alcohol and nicotine consumption will play a positive role in your efforts to conceive a healthy child. Relaxation and feeling happy are also major points in your preparation for a healthy pregnancy. It is also important to talk to your gynecologist to assist you with your pregnancy and give you insights such as about fertility treatments and medications.
It is possible to get pregnant right after menstruation, for there are cases where women ovulate right after their period ends. Taking a home pregnancy test will help confirm if you indeed are pregnant. A visit to your doctor will also help confirm this.
I had sex at the begin of my ovulation week, my boyfriend came inside, when brushing my teeth i have bleeding, today when i went to the bathroom i had some blood, and yesterday i had a craving for ice cream and potato chips. is it possible to be pregnant
At times, it can be difficult to distinguish premenstrual syndrome (PMS) from early pregnancy symptoms, for they are quite similar. Symptoms like constipation, food craving, breast tenderness, and bloating, can be seen in both phenomena. The onset of your period usually confirms one from the other. To be certain, take a home pregnancy test as well to rule out PMS as the cause of your symptoms.
It is possible that you may be pregnant. It would be best for you to take a home pregnancy test to confirm this matter.
My cycle was very short and early. First day was brown I used panty liners two days of regular bleeding then nothing. Could I be pregnant or is this a normal period?
I recommend to take pregnancy test to confirm if this is pregnancy or not, visiting a OB Gyne will also help.

Since your pregnancy is not yet confirmed, you can still continue taking in your Fertibella fertility pills. Once you have already confirmed you’re pregnant, you may stop taking these fertility pills and start taking prenatal vitamins instead to provide the vitamins and minerals you need while pregnant.
Yes, there is still a chance for you to get pregnant if you have sexual intercourse after your fertile window. It would usually take twelve to fourteen days after the first day you missed your period for you to determine if you’re pregnant or not.
Given that you have PCOS, getting pregnant can be quite challenging for you. PCOS run
genetically and are usually caused by the changes in your hormonal levels. It is best that you take 500 mg of Metformin 3 times daily for4-6 months. Metformin can help you conceive with PCOS in such a way that it regulates your reproductive hormones and induces your ovulation, given that it decreases the level of androgens released by the ovaries and adrenal glands. .
Given that your activities after sexual intercourse won’t affect your chances of getting pregnant, there is no need for you to avoid certain activities after sex. Sperm cells are considered to be fast swimmers, and can work against gravity in such a way that when you get up after intercourse; there would already have been millions of sperm cells deposited on your reproductive tract which are swiftly searching for an egg.
Okay so the last time i had sex was on April 5th 2013, it was unprotected with my boyfriend. I got my period on april 15, 2013 and it last four days. I usually feeling sore or tenderness in my breast right before my period. But this time i felt before and even after my period was over. This morning ( April 28th, 2013 ) i was bleeding but not like a period, it was lighter than usual. Also when i have my period its usually heavy the first two days. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MIGHT ME WRONG?????
Since your baby is still considered to be an embryo a week after your sexual intercourse, these conditions will not affect the formation of your child. However; it is best that you take prenatal and folic acid vitamins during your pregnancy to prevent miscarriages and to ensure your baby’s healthy development. It is also best that you avoid stress and depressants when conceiving.
Given that you did not have sexual intercourse after your recent menstrual period, there is a least chance for you to be pregnant. You most likely are experiencing premenstrual syndrome, which is just common for girls who are expecting their periods. PMS are caused by hormonal changes, and usually include bleeding and the soreness of breasts.
Had sex april 29 period was supposed to come on may 3rd did not come. Today is may 6th. I am cramping and constipated am i pregnant?
There is very good chance for you to be pregnant, knowing that you had been missing your periods. Pregnancy symptoms usually include cramps and constipation, and with this; you most likely are pregnant. I do recommend that you take a home pregnancy test 14 days after the first day that you have missed your period for a reliable result.
