By what symptoms to recognize conception before the expected menstruation. The very first signs of pregnancy Is there toxicosis in the early stages of pregnancy

Pregnancy from the very first week leaves its mark on the condition of a woman. After the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus, hormonal changes begin in the woman's body.

They are manifested by certain symptoms by which pregnancy can be diagnosed at an early stage.

The most favorable time for conception is the period of ovulation, which occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation occurs when the follicle ruptures and the egg is ready for fertilization.

If for some reason there was a failure of the menstrual cycle, the timing of ovulation may shift and conception may occur earlier or later than the middle of the cycle.

The mature egg enters the fallopian tube, which contains the sperm. The most active of them penetrates the shell of the egg and fertilizes it. Then it begins to move towards the uterine cavity. Along the way, the egg divides and by the time it enters the uterus turns into a fetal egg, consisting of several hundred cells.

Implantation of the fetal egg occurs 7-10 days after ovulation.

After entering the uterus, the fetal egg does not immediately attach to its wall, but is in a “suspended” state for 2 days. During this time, it prepares the surface of the uterus for implantation by relaxing its tissues. This is necessary so that the walls of the uterus do not reject the foreign body.

Attachment to the posterior wall of the uterus occurs more often, since it is thicker, many vessels are concentrated in it and Better conditions for the development of the embryo.

Implantation can fail for a number of reasons:

hormonal failure (change in the concentration of progesterone, estrogen, glucocorticosteroids, prolactin, etc.);
unpreparedness of the endometrium (uterine mucosa) for implantation. The thickness of the endometrium for the successful attachment of the fetal egg must be at least 7 mm;
fibroids (benign tumor) of the uterus.

If the fertilized egg fails to establish itself, menstruation will begin, and it will leave the uterus along with the menstrual flow.

Hormonal changes after implantation

After the attachment of the fetal egg, the active work of the body begins, aimed at the proper development of the child.

A woman is faced with hormonal changes that affect the functioning of all body systems.

In place of the bursting follicle, it appears - this is a temporary formation responsible for the production of progesterone.

Progesterone is a hormone necessary for the implantation of a fertilized egg and the normal development of pregnancy. Violation of the corpus luteum can lead to miscarriage or.

During the division of a fertilized egg, the rudiments of the future embryo and fetal membranes (chorion) appear. The chorion produces a special hormone - chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

By the presence of this hormone in the blood, it is possible to assume the onset of pregnancy with a high degree of probability. In rare cases, it is not associated with pregnancy, but with certain diseases.

Subjective first signs before delay

The first signs of pregnancy before the delay are based on the feelings of the woman.

They are characteristic of pregnancy, but their severity may be different: in some women they appear more strongly, in others they are completely absent. And it doesn’t matter which pregnancy is the first, second or third, any woman can feel the early signs of pregnancy, regardless of age, nationality, social status, etc.

Even before a missed period, the first sign of pregnancy can be chest pain. They appear at 1-2 weeks of pregnancy.

The chest swells, becomes more sensitive, any touch causes pain.

The initial sign of pregnancy before the delay may be increased pigmentation of the nipples. This symptom does not always appear, in some cases women do not feel any discomfort in the chest.

Another, so to speak, a popular sign of pregnancy, may be minor bloody issues from the genital tract.

The process of attaching the egg to the wall of the uterus may be accompanied by implantation bleeding -.

A woman may mistake them for premenstrual flow. They can last from several hours to days.

The changed hormonal background becomes, which causes apathy, loss of strength and drowsiness.

Such early signs of pregnancy can accompany a woman throughout the first trimester of pregnancy. To them are added changes in the emotional state of the pregnant woman: tearfulness, irritability and anxiety appear.

Many women are worried about the malaise characteristic of colds: headache, feeling of weakness, discharge from the nose,.

These symptoms are caused by a temporary weakening of the immune system, which is characteristic of early pregnancy.

If a woman goes to a doctor about being unwell, she needs to inform him about a possible conception.

This will allow the doctor to choose drugs that are safe in early pregnancy.

Accelerated blood circulation in the pelvic organs and a change in the functioning of the kidneys cause frequent urination. If it is accompanied by pulling or cutting pain, you should immediately consult a doctor. In this case, frequent urination may be a sign of a urinary tract infection.

During pregnancy, blood flow to the pelvic organs increases, and the growth of the uterus begins.

An increase in the size of the uterus may be accompanied by a feeling of "fullness" in the abdomen, pain and tingling in the uterus.

Diarrhea may be the primary sign of pregnancy before a delay.

Diarrhea is non-infectious and resolves quickly. Thus, the body reacts to the stress caused by pregnancy.

Do not worry about this - after a while the chair will recover. According to statistics, local disorders of the gastrointestinal tract in 65% of cases are clear signs of pregnancy before the delay.

Looseness of the cervix, reduced turgor of the muscles of the vagina. This is due to the action of progesterone, which helps to relax muscle tissue.

Without waiting for an examination by a gynecologist, you can conduct a self-examination: insert a finger into the vagina and assess muscle tone. On palpation in the event of pregnancy, the muscles will appear "boiled".

Unusual signs of pregnancy include a change in taste preferences, excessive tearfulness, flatulence, heartburn, and decreased visual acuity.

Despite the abundance of signs that indirectly indicate pregnancy, you may not experience any signs at all other than a delay.

Personal experience

To begin with, I am a mother of 3 children and all 3 pregnancies were, therefore, from the very first days after conception, I listened to my body and carefully monitored all the changes that were taking place.

I would like to clarify that the early signs of pregnancy, which can occur 1-2 weeks after conception, are so subjective (even for one woman) that it is not worth trying on all the feelings of other people.

So, for the first time, the earliest sign indicating pregnancy was pain in the mammary glands. The chest swelled, became very sensitive and hurt so much that it was impossible to lie on the stomach. This was not the case before. The chest, of course, hurt, but not much. It was this fact that prompted me, and he gave.

The planning of the second pregnancy stretched for as much as six months. Health was all right. Before planning a pregnancy, my husband and I passed. But for some reason the test failed. I listened to my own body, and when my chest started to hurt, I ran for the test, but the results were negative. So during the next cycle after ovulation, I noticed that the chest does not hurt at all.

To be honest, I thought that this time the body decided to take a break and reward me with an anovulatory cycle. My chest never started to hurt. This time I didn't even take the test. However, this cycle ended with pregnancy. And I did the test after the delay, and it showed a red bright second strip.

Moreover, a few days after ovulation, I started having cystitis on the background. I successfully cured cystitis with Monural, and after 2 weeks I found out that I was pregnant. I don’t know if cystitis and a cold can be called early signs of pregnancy. But I'm glad that taking the antibiotic did not affect the child in any way.

The third time I got pregnant again the first time. Moreover, the pregnancy occurred immediately in the next cycle after the cancellation of OK "Regulon". This time the chest was normal. Slightly began to swell after ovulation. In principle, nothing foreshadowed pregnancy.

However, this time I set aside for myself the day when the embryo transfer was supposed to take place. On this day, the whole body was wadded, I wanted to lie down all the time and. By the way, this time the test did not show pregnancy before the delay. A weak second strip appeared the second time on the 2nd day of delay.

So, even for one woman, each new pregnancy manifests itself differently.

Xenia, 35.

Objective signs of pregnancy before delay

One of the reliable signs of pregnancy before the delay is considered to be an increase basal body temperature(temperature in the rectum) above 37 ˚С.

The obtained measurement results may be correct under certain conditions.

Basal temperature is measured in the morning, immediately after waking up, without getting out of bed. Prior to this, the woman should lie down for at least 6 hours.

You can not measure earlier than 2 hours after intercourse, as the results will be incorrect.

The onset of pregnancy can be judged by the level of the hCG hormone. At home, its level in the urine is determined using special tests.

In early pregnancy, a second faint strip may appear on the test. In this case, it is necessary to repeat the tests for several days and monitor the change in the brightness of the bands.

If the gestation period is short, home tests can be given, that is, implantation has already occurred, but the level of hCG is still insufficient to determine it in the urine.

For correct results in the early stages, it is better to use with a sensitivity of 10 mIU / ml.

A false negative result can be for other reasons:

the test was damaged or expired;
non-morning urine was used;
on the eve of the test, the woman drank a lot of liquid or took diuretics;
kidney disease;

If pregnancy is suspected but a home test is negative, a blood test is needed.

In it, hCG is determined earlier than in urine. Blood for analysis is taken from a vein, the analysis is taken in the morning on an empty stomach or 4-5 hours after eating at other times of the day.

To confirm the result, it is necessary to take hCG in dynamics. In the case of a normal uterine pregnancy, the level of the hCG hormone in the blood will constantly rise.

After the first signs of pregnancy appear, it is necessary to wait until the menstrual cycle is delayed and consult a doctor.

He will prescribe an ultrasound, which will unequivocally allow you to establish the fact of pregnancy and determine its development (uterine, developing or frozen).

The first month of pregnancy is an important and very exciting period in the life of every expectant mother. In practice, it turns out that a woman spends most of this wonderful period of laying a new life either in ignorance or in doubt whether it was possible to conceive a child.

A test striped with two stripes and the absence of another menstruation are clear signs of an onset pregnancy, but one wants to know literally from the first day that the long-awaited baby has already been conceived and is going through the most difficult path of forming a full-fledged person.

The female body begins to give signals of the development of pregnancy that has begun much earlier than the cessation of menstruation, which we will discuss in this article. The very first signs of pregnancy before menstruation cannot be called one hundred percent, and they are not always observed and not all, however, they take place and can be traced in most expectant mothers.

Subjective feelings of a woman

The first signs of pregnancy before the delay, felt subjectively, can be noted by every expectant mother at the beginning of gestation, since incredible changes are already taking place inside the body, invisible to the eye, but giving themselves away by certain features of sensations. Many of these signs can be in women suffering from PMS (see), however, after conception, similar symptoms and changes can be felt almost immediately after conception. Moreover, if a woman does not suffer from PMS, then such changes can be taken as not ordinary.

Malaise	The malaise of the first days of pregnancy can be mistaken for a mild cold, only without respiratory symptoms. Rapid fatigue and tiredness
Emotional destabilization	Tearfulness, replaced by euphoria, joy and tears at the same time are frequent companions developing pregnancy, especially for emotional and impressionable ladies
Drowsiness and restless sleep	Drowsiness and a feeling of lack of sleep are signs of pregnancy in the early days. There is a constant desire to sleep, but even a 12-hour sleep does not bring the feeling that the woman has had enough sleep. Characterized by sudden awakening early in the morning and the inability to fall asleep again
Change in libido	A change in libido, either upward or downward, can be observed throughout pregnancy and begins from 2-3 weeks.
Heaviness in the pelvis	The feeling of fullness in the pelvic region due to increased blood flow to the structures of the small pelvis is perceived by many women as a feeling of their own uterus
Tingling in the uterus	Periodic non-intense tingling in the area of the uterus is noted
Lower back pain radiating to the legs	Periodically there is pain in the lower back by the type of lumbago, radiating to the legs
Headaches, migraines	Headache can be overwhelming throughout the day and subside only at night
Increase or change in breast tenderness	Excessive sensitivity of the mammary glands, manifested as a reaction to the slightest touch, soreness is noted in most pregnant women. In some cases, a woman can hardly touch her breasts - these unpleasant sensations are so strong. Loss of sensation is observed in those pregnant women who have previously noted increased sensitivity of the breast before menstruation
Feeling hot and chilly	Sensations, when it suddenly throws you into a fever, and then starts to shiver, overcome a woman several times a day. Moreover, these sensations are internal and do not depend on external factors (weather, clothing, ambient temperature)
Increased appetite or strong cravings for certain foods	Many women note a brutal appetite and literally cannot move away from the refrigerator, because the food eaten does not give a feeling of fullness. The craving for certain foods and drinks begins already at the beginning of pregnancy, and it is impossible not to notice, since the pregnant body often chooses those that were previously absent from the diet as priority foods.
Nausea	Attacks of nausea, especially in the morning, which may go as far as vomiting. Characterized by the rejection of certain foods, the memories of which automatically cause nausea
Increased sensitivity to odors and perversion of olfactory sensations	Rejection and even aversion to previously familiar smells - perfumes, cooked food, the body of a spouse, etc. Against this background, an attraction to chemical odors (gasoline, acetone) may appear. Interestingly, some women begin to feel an atypical smell from products, for example, the smell of oil from fruits. These first signs of pregnancy appear 3-5 days after conception, the woman immediately notices unusual olfactory sensations.
Discomfort while sitting	Literally from the first days of pregnancy, it is difficult for the expectant mother to find a comfortable position in a sitting position, the feeling that something is in the way does not leave the woman, which forces her to fidget in her chair and change her position

External changes

The body gives the first bells of the emerging life, changing outwardly. Often a woman does not notice these changes, but others may note some features of the appearance of the expectant mother.

Swelling of the face and hands, feet	There is a slight puffiness of the face - all day the face looks as if the woman had just woken up. Swelling of the hands is noticeable if you try to clench them into fists. On feet in the evening it is difficult to put on previously loose shoes
Acne	A sharp hormonal restructuring leads to the fact that women, even those who have never suffered from acne before, find these skin phenomena in themselves.
Bloating	From the first days of pregnancy, the intestines become “lazy” and perform their function more slowly, leading to constipation. In addition, increased production of hormones leads to swelling of the intestinal walls. All this is manifested by visible bloating.
Strengthening of the venous pattern on the chest	A noticeable venous network is noted, appearing through the delicate skin of the chest.
breast augmentation	Breasts become full, lush. In some women, already in the first month of pregnancy, the breast increases by 1-2 sizes.
Darkening of the skin around the nipples	It may be barely noticeable, or it may be clear in terms of the type of pigmentation
Redness of the skin of the face	Blooming blush appears on the skin due to increased blood circulation. This symptom is especially pronounced in the evening.
Change in pigmentation of the white line of the abdomen	The conditional line going down from the navel becomes pigmented and gradually darkens

Physiological and laboratory changes

Changes in the physiological plan sometimes frighten a woman and force her to see a doctor, but in fact, these may be signals that the first stages of pregnancy have come, and the body is intensively changing to suit the interests of a new life.

Early pregnancy factor	This is a special substance found in the blood of pregnant women or cervical mucus 28-48 hours after conception. According to international studies, this factor is found in 67% of cases of pregnancy. Its growth is observed throughout the first trimester. This diagnostic has not yet found widespread practical application, although some doctors use it.
The growth of the hCG hormone - human chorionic gonadotropin	Special tests or analyzes determine the increase in the level of hCG, which indicates the presence of pregnancy and its normal course. It is important that this indicator grows even before the delay of menstruation: 1-2 weeks - 25-156 mU / ml; 2-3 weeks - 101-4870 mU / ml; 3-4 weeks - 1110-31500 mU / ml; 4-5 weeks - 2560-82300 mU / ml; 5-6 weeks - 23100-151000 mU / ml;
Bloody discharge from the vagina	Normally, it is difficult to call them secretions; rather, it is a smear or small droplets of yellowish or Pink colour. Their onset falls on the 7-12th day after conception and indicates the fixation of the embryo in the uterine cavity. The cervix can also bleed, if there is a history of erosion - increased blood circulation during pregnancy leads to an increase in bleeding
Exacerbation of hemorrhoids	Since blood flow to the pelvic organs increases, hemorrhoids can worsen in the first weeks
Elevated basal body temperature	The first weeks of pregnancy, before the placenta begins to function, are characterized by an increased basal temperature of more than 37 C (37.1-37.5) - before menstruation, in the case when conception did not occur, the basal temperature drops from 37, 2 - 37.3 to 36 ,6-36,8 and the next day menstruation occurs. And if on the days of the next menstruation the temperature stays above 37 - this may be the result of both pregnancy and simply a delay due to late ovulation.
Cramps of the calf muscles	This phenomenon occurs at night and forces the woman to wake up.
Low pressure	The decrease in pressure is especially evident in hypotensive patients, since their numbers reach 90/60 mm Hg. and below, leading to dizziness, weakness, and even fainting. This phenomenon provokes a long standing position, stay in a stuffy room and transport
Implantation drop in basal temperature	Women charting basal body temperatures report a one-day drop in temperature in the second phase
reduced immunity	There is a decrease in immunity with a mild cold in the form of a runny nose and pharyngitis
Increased salivation	Often combined with nausea and exacerbates the course of toxicosis
Increased vaginal discharge	Blood filling of the pelvic organs leads to increased secretion of the vaginal secretion
Thrush	Since the secret of the vagina contains a large amount of hydrogen ions, it becomes an excellent breeding ground for Candida fungi. Typical cheesy discharge with itching indicates thrush, which must be treated
Increased frequency of urination	Increased hormone levels, increased blood flow to the pelvis, and increased kidney function lead to more frequent urination, both day and night.
Delayed menstruation	The absence of the next menstruation is the most obvious sign of the onset of pregnancy. During this period, the test for self-diagnosis is already beginning to show two cherished stripes

Of course, all these signs are relative, and even a delay in menstruation with a positive pregnancy test, which may later turn out to be false positive, does not guarantee its onset. All the above symptoms do not have any significant age or ethnic characteristics.

The only thing that can be noted is that women with an increased emotional background notice signs of pregnancy much more often than balanced and “cold” ladies. More obvious symptoms are also noted during the first pregnancy, in the subsequent ones, the expectant mother may not guess about her interesting position for a long time, it is also quite difficult to determine its onset by symptoms for women with.

On the contrary, women with chronic gynecological diseases (adnexitis, salpingo-oophoritis) can feel the onset of conception more strongly than healthy women, since pain in the lower back, in the area of the appendages, may appear.

Symptoms of conception after the onset of a missed period

Of course, every woman who has discovered a delay in menstruation is interested in the question - after how long the first signs of pregnancy will become a guaranteed evidence of her onset. This question makes expectant mothers immediately run to the gynecologist and demand registration. However, doctors do not really welcome such behavior, and, most likely, they will send the expectant mother to wait another 2-3 weeks. Conception, unfortunately, does not yet guarantee pregnancy, and a period of 4-6 weeks is the most dangerous when there is a high probability of spontaneous miscarriages.

The following first symptoms of pregnancy after a delay in menstruation can be called exact manifestations of the conception that has occurred, indicating that the fetus is growing and fluttering:

A positive pregnancy test taken at least three times a few days apart. A highly sensitive diagnostic test begins to "stripe" already on the first day of the delay, but it is better to wait about 7 days - then it will be more reliable.
Examination by a gynecologist on a chair. For a period of 6 weeks, the cervix becomes softer and acquires a bluish tint due to increased blood circulation. The isthmus between the body and the uterus also softens, an increased size of the uterus is found.
An elevated level of hCG, found in the blood and urine of a woman, not only indicates the onset of pregnancy, but is also an indicator of its course for the doctor. HCG initially rises very quickly, doubling every 2 days for the first month, then doubling after 3.5-4 days.
An early ultrasound of the uterus at about 5 weeks reveals an implanted fetal egg (or several in multiple pregnancies), which contains the embryo and yolk sac.

The very first signs of conception as a boy

What are the first signs of pregnancy in favor of conceiving a boy? You can trace these manifestations already in the first days of the onset of conception, you just need to carefully listen to yourself. Naturally, these may not be 100% signs, but most mothers described their condition in this way when they were carrying boys.

Appearance	Visible improvement appearance a woman who literally blossoms, acquiring peach, matte skin, thick and beautiful hair and nails
limb temperature	Decreased temperature of the skin of the lower extremities against the background of a feeling of internal heat (cold legs with a feeling of heat)
Appetite	Noticeable increase in appetite from the first days of pregnancy. Meat and meat products are becoming a favorite food for expectant mothers
Nausea	No nausea or mild nausea
Mood	Good mood, high performance and even a noticeable increase in activity in general
stomach	Rounding the lower abdomen in the form of a slight bulge. It is difficult to notice from the first weeks, but very attentive women can catch this slight difference in 1-2

Early signs of pregnancy for a girl

Pregnancy with a girl also has its distinctive features, which can be traced already in the first weeks after conception, again with the proviso that this is the case for most women, but there are exceptions.

Appearance	Change in appearance for the worse (somewhere by the 3rd week of pregnancy). The face seems to lose its attractive features. It can be seen from the woman’s face that she is pregnant (lips swell, skin turns pale and swells, etc.)
limb temperature	Increased temperature of the skin of the lower extremities against the background of chills (warm legs with a feeling of internal chills)
Appetite	Decrease and even lack of appetite from the first days of pregnancy. Of the food preferences, there is a craving for sweets and citrus fruits.
Nausea	Morning sickness, somewhat calming in the evening, is characteristic of almost all pregnancies with girls.
Mood	The unpredictability of actions, frequent mood swings, confusion of thoughts and actions indicate in the direction of conception by a girl
Stomach	The abdomen does not visually increase, rather, it even sinks slightly, which is associated with a weak appetite due to nausea.

The first signs of multiple pregnancy

The conception of two or more children is considered by some to be a gift from above, and some call it a test. In any case, this news for parents is always somewhat shocking. You can suspect such a pregnancy by the following signs:

Appearance	A change in appearance for the worse, associated with colossal hormonal changes, as well as due to toxicosis. Feature - the appearance of acne on the face.
Increased urination	Increased urination already in the 3rd week of pregnancy due to the accelerated growth of the uterus
Appetite	Appetite is most often increased despite nausea. Even if the appetite suffers due to toxicosis, weight is gained well and quickly.
Nausea	Severe and painful nausea with periodic vomiting, which practically does not let go throughout the day, from the first days after conception.
Mood	Decreased mood due to constant fatigue and drowsiness. Any habitual business is given with great difficulty.
Stomach	Uniform slight rounding of the abdomen from the first weeks, due to increased growth of the uterus. The symptom may not appear in everyone.

The very first weeks are a truly memorable and very exciting period in the life of every woman. However, in most cases, it is during this period that she is in the dark, trying to detect the very first signs of pregnancy in herself.

A clear sign of pregnancy is the absence of menses and the appearance of two clear lines on the test.

But the woman is still trying to determine the conception earlier, to find out what sensations at the beginning of pregnancy are her evidence. After all, the body of a woman “signals” about conception much earlier than it can be accurately determined. That is why women who believe that they have become pregnant often ask their acquaintances: “ What were the first signs of pregnancy you had?”, and also try to “listen” to their own body and notice a variety of signs: heaviness in the uterus, tingling in the nipple, hunger and other harbingers. But still, it should be remembered that secondary signs are not a 100% guarantee of pregnancy.

In addition, such symptoms of pregnant women are not always worried and not all. But these manifestations occur in most expectant mothers. You can find out how to get confirmation of an “interesting” situation in a short time, after what time the first signs of pregnancy appear, see below.

Signs of pregnancy: subjective feelings

Ovulation is the process when from the ovarian follicle to abdominal cavity an ovum is released ready for fertilization. Ovulation occurs around day 12-14 of the menstrual cycle. It is during this period that conception is most likely. However, there are certain reasons for delayed ovulation, they can be associated with stress, diseases of the genital area, imbalance etc. But even in this case, fertilization can occur. In some cases, it is necessary to accurately set the time of ovulation in order to increase the likelihood of conception.

Sometimes during the period of ovulation, a woman manifests certain signs. In frequency, some women have lower back pain at this time, there is a tingling in the ovary, an increase in mucous secretions, bloating,. There are also minor discharges - blood during ovulation can be released only in small quantities. Some women claim that they felt pain in the lower back after ovulation, when conception occurred. But a week after ovulation is too short a time to test. Moreover, on the 4th day or 5th day, the gynecologist will not be able to determine the pregnancy.

At this time and, and the reasons nausea most likely not related to pregnancy. But on about the 7th day, sensations that are uncharacteristic for a woman are already gradually beginning to appear. It is advisable to carry out the test no earlier than 10 days after ovulation. During this period, the cervix, if conception has occurred, gradually becomes looser. More abundant discharge also appears if conception has occurred.

Those who are interested in how many days after conception pregnancy occurs should take into account that on what day pregnancy occurs after conception depends on the movement of the fertilized egg to the uterus. This period is from 7 to 10 days. Accordingly, after implantation of the egg in the uterus, changes begin in the body, when a number of symptoms new to the expectant mother appear.

After how many days other unpleasant phenomena begin, depends primarily on the characteristics female body. For example, women tracking basal temperature note unusual basal temperature charts.

Most expectant mothers are interested in what first signs of pregnancy before a delay may appear in a woman. But keep in mind that early symptoms, when there is still a week before menstruation or 4 days before menstruation, are subjective. Since after conception, even during the period when there are 2 days or more before menstruation, grandiose changes are already taking place in the body, special sensations in a woman can be noted, as evidenced by numerous reviews.

Often, the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can actually be symptoms of a pronounced one. But the same primary signs are possible immediately after conception. If PMS is not a characteristic condition for a woman, then she perceives the initial signs as an unusual phenomenon, and when such symptoms appear, she thinks about whether it is possible to determine pregnancy in the early stages.

Early signs of pregnancy before a missed period may include:

Feeling unwell. A week before menstruation, there is a feeling that it is developing cold with no respiratory symptoms. There is a feeling of weakness, in the early stages the woman gets very tired.
Emotional destabilization. Constant changes in mood, a change of joy with tears are also subjective signs of conception before a delay. Similar signs are often noted in women prone to emotionality.
Drowsiness, poor sleep. Those who are interested in how to determine pregnancy before a delay should pay attention to the manifestation of drowsiness, a constant feeling of lack of sleep. There are clear signs of lack of sleep, even if the woman has slept for 12 or more hours. It can also overcome: the expectant mother suddenly wakes up very early and cannot fall asleep again.
Change in sex drive. Libido throughout the entire period of pregnancy can change in one direction or another. At the same time, the earliest changes in libido are noted as early as 2-3 weeks after conception.
Feeling of heaviness in the pelvis. This feeling occurs as a result of a more active inflow to the pelvic organs. Therefore, a woman who is interested in how to understand that pregnancy has come, perceives this phenomenon as a heaviness in the uterus. The feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen may also disturb. At the same time, the feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen does not disappear even after going to the toilet.
Tingling in the uterus. Periodically, tingling is felt in the uterus or in its area.
Pain in the lower back. Such harbingers are also likely: tingling in the back, backache in the lower back, radiating to the legs. Tingling in the uterus can be noted already in the first weeks of pregnancy, before the delay, and feel like a slight tingling before menstruation or after ovulation. The causes of tingling in the uterus are associated with hormonal changes, attachment of the embryo. You need to understand: if it tingles in the uterus, then this is a physiological phenomenon. As the fetus develops, lower back pain often worries, as the growing uterus presses on the internal organs. Sometimes the lower back hurts after conception, on days when the delay has just begun. You may also feel heat in the lumbar region.
Migraine, headache. The first symptoms of pregnancy before the delay in menstruation are also manifested by a headache, which can disturb throughout the day and subside only at night. The headache begins to bother you already in the first weeks, so the answer to the question of whether a headache can be one of the signs is in the affirmative.
Increased sensitivity of the mammary glands. Sensitivity may increase to such an extent that even the slightest touch causes pain in the chest. Most expectant mothers have chest pain. Moreover, a woman sometimes cannot even touch her breast, since she can feel pain after the lightest touch. How the chest hurts depends on the individual, although this symptom is taken into account when an early determination of pregnancy is made before the delay. In some cases, on the contrary, there is a loss of sensitivity of the mammary glands. This is typical for those who have always noted an increase in the sensitivity of the breast before menstruation.
Fever and chills. A feeling of heat, which is replaced by chills, manifests itself several times a day. In this case, an increase in body temperature may not occur. This is an internal feeling that does not depend on the influence of external factors.
Increased appetite or a strong desire to eat a certain food. Often, almost in the second week of pregnancy, women notice a significant increase in appetite (pregnant women very often write about this in every thematic forum, answering the question “ How did you feel at the beginning of your pregnancy?"). In the process of eating, they do not feel full. It also happens that you are drawn to a certain food product. It is also characteristic that pregnant women, as a rule, have a craving for that product or products that were previously absent from the menu.
Nausea. Many women are interested in whether it can start and whether it can feel sick at the earliest possible date. The beginning of such sensations in pregnant women is individual. Nausea worries more often in the morning, sometimes there is vomiting. There is a sharp rejection of certain foods, even the thought of which provokes nausea. Often develops at an early date. Pain in the intestines and stomach is also likely. How the stomach hurts, the woman herself determines with difficulty, because it is rather a pulling sensation, heaviness. Whether the stomach hurts in the first days after conception depends on individual characteristics - this does not always happen.
High sensitivity to odors. Many women who write to the forum and share their experiences, answering the question: “ How did you feel that you were pregnant?”, talk about sudden changes in the sense of smell. There is an aversion to those smells that previously seemed pleasant, for example, to the aroma of food, perfume, etc. At the same time, some chemical smells may seem attractive. It happens that a woman feels an uncharacteristic aroma when smelling food - for example, it may seem to her that the food has the aroma of acetone. Whether such changes can be felt immediately after conception depends on individual characteristics. As a rule, increased sensitivity to smells is observed already a few days after conception.
Feeling uncomfortable while sitting. Already in the first days after conception, the expectant mother finds it difficult to find a comfortable position in a sitting position.
Allergy. Allergy as a symptom manifests itself in the early stages. As a rule, this is an allergic reaction, which was not previously noted in a woman.

Early diagnosis of pregnancy allows you to find out if conception has occurred, even if there are no signs described above. But the definition of such subjective feelings in oneself helps those women who ask if it is possible to find out about pregnancy before the delay. Although the most accurate data on pregnancy can only be given later - hypersensitive test . But even the most sensitive specimens can end up being interpreted as a weakly positive test if a pregnancy test is taken too early. The earliest term for determining conception is 20-21 days from the date of the last menstruation. That is why most women are trying to figure out how to find out if there is a positive result, how to find out if conception has occurred.

If a woman kept a BT schedule, then is it possible to understand that she is pregnant, the basal temperature will help, which does not decrease during pregnancy as it happens before menstruation.

There are a number of other signs that a woman is interested in in order to find out that she is pregnant, she “searches out” in herself already in the first days after a probable conception. Reading articles that there are 33 signs of pregnancy or a different number of them, she notes as such allocation , thrush , acne . But all these manifestations may also indicate the development of the disease, and not about pregnancy. For example, discharge during the conception of a child can be the same as with thrush. What kind of discharge appears after conception, as well as what are the most accurate signs of pregnancy, can be told by a doctor who should be asked how to identify the exact signs, and how to understand that you are pregnant.

External changes during the first days of pregnancy

Even before the delay, the first signs of pregnancy after conception appear almost every day with external changes. Despite the fact that only a few women claim that they had certain strange sensations after ovulation, if conception occurred, external changes occur in almost everyone.

Talking about what sensations they experienced during the conception of a child and after that, many women note that they developed thrush , and after thrush - cystitis . As a result, the question arose whether due to thrush there could be a number of signs similar to those of pregnancy.

And if, before the delay of menstruation, the woman herself can rather feel certain internal sensations after conception, then those around her notice external changes.

Even before nausea appears after conception, such external signs of pregnancy may be noted:

Laboratory and physiological changes in the first days of pregnancy

Trying to determine what signs of pregnancy in the early days indicate conception, a woman pays attention to the physiological state. How to determine pregnancy, while the test does not yet show it, some physiological manifestations, as well as laboratory indicators, will “prompt”. Trying to understand everything about pregnancy from the first days of conception, expectant mothers, concerned about certain manifestations, turn to doctors.

Almost in the very first days of pregnancy, the following signs may indicate:

Early pregnancy factor. A special substance is found in the blood or in the mucus of the cervix of pregnant women - it is determined 28-48 hours after conception has occurred. Studies show that this factor can be detected in 67% of cases after pregnancy. Its growth is noted during the first months. But at present, this diagnostic method is used very rarely.
Increasing hCG hormone. The onset of pregnancy allows you to determine . HCG is determined by tests or analyzes, and its level indicates that conception has occurred and that the gestation of the fetus is proceeding normally. The growth of this indicator also occurs before the delay of menstruation, when a very short period is noted.
Vaginal discharge with blood. Sometimes women are worried about what to do if pinkish or yellow discharge of a smearing nature appears from the genitals. As a rule, such discharge and discomfort in the uterus appear 7-12 days after the conception has occurred, and indicate that the embryo is fixed in the uterus. Also, the uterus can bleed if the woman once had erosion. Due to the increased blood flow, an increase in bleeding occurs.
Exacerbation of hemorrhoids. Since, after conception, blood flow in the pelvic organs increases, and constipation also worries, hemorrhoids can worsen in the first weeks after conception.
The basal body temperature rises. After conception, the basal temperature always rises. In the first weeks after conception, until the placenta began to function, the basal temperature rises to above 37 C. If during the period of menstruation the basal temperature is more than 37 degrees, then this indicates either pregnancy or a delay due to late ovulation. Also, after conception, body temperature may rise. It should be noted that basal temperature is not the temperature of the vagina, but measured in the rectum.
Elevated temperature. Sometimes there is a constant temperature of 37 as a sign of pregnancy. Whether the temperature can be lowered depends on the physiology of the organism.
Leg (calf) cramps. Cramps and pain in the legs disturb at night, disturbing sleep.
pressure drop. The most pronounced pressure decreases in people who have previously had hypotension. Often in such women, the pressure drops to 90/60 mm Hg. As a result, weakness , sometimes - fainting . Even if the period is very short, such manifestations occur as a result of being in a stuffy room, transport, a long standing position. Low pressure is also noted in those who previously had these indicators in the norm. Whether it is possible to feel such signs in the first days depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.
Decreased immunity. Primary symptoms can manifest themselves in the form of a cold - as a result of a decrease in immunity. In particular, it is possible runny nose , complaints that the throat hurts. The pregnant woman believes that she is developing a common cold. Reviews of pregnant women indicate that a cold as an initial symptom manifests itself quite often.
Strong salivation. What a woman feels in the first days after conception is individual. But increased salivation is usually accompanied by nausea. The active separation of saliva worsens the feeling of toxicosis. The condition of a woman also depends on what sensations in the stomach appear in the first days after conception. Sometimes nausea, bloating, or abdominal discomfort is also accompanied by excessive salivation.
Vaginal discharge. The discharge before the delay becomes more abundant, as there is an increased production of vaginal secretions. Whether white discharge can be after ovulation depends on the physiology of the woman. But white discharge as a sign of fertilization is a fairly common phenomenon.
Thrush. Since the secret of the vagina is rich in hydrogen ions, it actively reproduces candida mushrooms . If itching, curdled discharge is noted, then thrush develops, which must be treated. Thrush as a sign of pregnancy is a fairly common occurrence. But if thrush develops, whether it can be evidence of conception, it is impossible to immediately know. Regardless of whether thrush is a sign of pregnancy, it must be treated.
Increased frequency of urination. Since there is a hormonal restructuring of the body, there is a rush of blood to the pelvic organs and the active functioning of the kidneys, urination becomes more frequent both day and night. Frequent urination is noted during the entire period of gestation. Also, women during this period may be disturbed by cystitis. Whether the stomach can hurt, whether discomfort is felt, depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Regardless of what the girl feels, it is better to consult a doctor with signs of cystitis.
Delay of menstruation. Despite other harbingers, it is the delay that is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. Nevertheless, a development of events is also possible, which can be characterized: "Delayed menstruation, but not pregnancy." Depending on how many days the delay has already lasted, measures can be taken to confirm or deny conception. Sometimes after conception, a delay in menstruation and a temperature of 37 are combined.

Even if there is a delay of 1 day, a woman may already suspect that she is pregnant, guided by other signs. For example, she has white discharge, unusual sensations. But with a delay of one day, the test may not show conception.

If there is a delay of 2 days, and white discharge appears, as well as other signs, conception can be suspected. But two days of delay is a period when it is still too early to consult a doctor to confirm pregnancy.

Women who have a 3-day delay in menstruation often have a test. But even if after three days of delay the test is positive, this is not a guarantee of pregnancy, as the test may turn out to be false positive.

What happens after 4 days of delay depends not only on objective factors, but also on the degree of emotionality of the woman. More emotional individuals believe that a 4-day delay in menstruation accurately indicates pregnancy, and they find in themselves a number of signs of conception.

Since the signs are more pronounced during the first pregnancy, after 5 days of delay, a woman can already be almost sure that she will have a child, as she determines the obvious symptoms of conception, regardless of what happens on day 5. If the delay is already 5 days, and white discharge continues to bother, ladies often turn to doctors to determine conception. But even on day 6, the doctor cannot say with certainty that the patient is pregnant, regardless of what happens on day 6 and what signs she shows.

If the period is delayed by 7 days, then it makes sense to take a test or consult a doctor. A delay of 1 week, which is combined with other signs (white discharge, sleep and appetite disturbances, a cold as a sign of pregnancy, etc.), is already a reason to suspect that conception has occurred. But during this period it is still impossible to determine exactly what gestational age is taking place. On the seventh day after conception, information can only be obtained by determining hCG.

Since white discharge and other signs can be pronounced on day 8, at this time many women are already taking the test. And about 12 days after conception, there may be slight bleeding, as the embryo is attached in the uterus. How to determine if this is really the so-called implantation bleeding , the doctor will tell you.

You should not put off a visit to the doctor for too long if you suspect that you are pregnant, or if the test has already shown two lines. If there is a 2-week delay in menstruation, you can visit a doctor to confirm the pregnancy, and also, already at a period of two weeks of delay, find out about how long after conception, how the pregnancy proceeds.

In case there is a delay of 3 weeks, it is important to obtain confirmation that uterine pregnancy . After all, with the same signs are noted as with its normal course. But this condition is very dangerous for a woman's health.

During this period, the doctor can already approximately determine how long after conception takes place. However, three weeks of delay is not yet the time when you can get a lot of accurate information about the development of the fetus.

Often women ask a gynecologist about how to feel that conception has occurred. But in fact, an early visit to the gynecologist is important in terms of excluding diseases of the genital area, as well as determining the general health of the expectant mother. After all, all diseases of the mother can subsequently negatively affect the health of the unborn child.

Thus, it is best to visit a doctor in the first month of pregnancy after periods have stopped and the first symptoms after conception appear. After all, 1 month is in many ways the most dangerous period, while the woman is not yet completely sure which pregnancy symptoms in the first days of delay should be considered accurate.

Having visited a gynecologist in the first weeks of pregnancy, you need to tell him in detail about what pregnancy symptoms were noted in the first weeks, what sensations bothered you in the first weeks. It is important to report exactly when your last period was. Also, the doctor can examine the chest, ask about what sensations you are currently experiencing, whether certain symptoms bother you (cold, unusual discharge, chills at the beginning of the delay, etc.).

In the first two weeks, the doctor will not only conduct an examination, but will ask you in detail about what sensations you experienced during weeks 1 and 2.

You should go to the first appointment with a gynecologist before the time when the first signs may appear toxicosis . That is, it is best to plan the first visit to the doctor for 2 months, when the discomfort is not yet so strong. The fifth week is a suitable period for such a visit. The doctor may ask a number of questions about how the woman feels. It should be borne in mind that at week 5, the basal temperature remains stably elevated, and if a woman measures it, you can tell the doctor about it.

Less often, women postpone a visit to the gynecologist for 3 months, when the exact symptoms are already pronounced, there come times when the tummy gradually increases. Nevertheless, it is impossible to postpone a visit to the doctor for 3, and, moreover, for 4 months.

The gynecologist always conducts an examination. It is important for him to assess the condition of the uterus, because the uterus before menstruation is hard to the touch and dry. The position of the cervix before menstruation is always low. The indicators of how much the uterus increases before menstruation and how much it becomes larger during pregnancy differ significantly. That is why, according to the state of the uterus, a specialist can judge the onset of pregnancy.

The doctor evaluates how the uterus looks, and, depending on how many days after the delay the woman came to the appointment, she can determine the conception or ask the patient to come later if signs of pregnancy and an increase are not yet noticeable. In how many days you need to visit the doctor again, he will definitely inform.

It is important to know for sure that the pregnancy is developing normally. After a woman is registered, she visits a gynecologist every month.

First week of pregnancy: signs and sensations

Since 1 week is still, in fact, not a pregnancy, at this time a woman, as a rule, does not yet determine those syndromes and symptoms that are evidence of a successful conception. In rare cases, some future mothers say that already on the first day of conception, long before the test was carried out, they felt certain strange sensations. But still, the sensations during fertilization, on the first day after it, when a woman determines something unusual in the body, is rather. an exception. Also, in rare cases, on the 2nd day or 3rd day, the corresponding symptoms appear. That is why it is difficult for a woman in the first days (on day 4, on day 5) to understand what is happening.

Many women are unaware of what are the earliest signs of pregnancy in the first week. But already during this period, the first symptoms of pregnancy begin in the first week: the stomach pulls, discharge appears, etc.

Whether there are certain symptoms at 1 week after conception, and when more pronounced signs occur, depends on the woman's body. If the delay is 6 days, it is still difficult for the doctor to determine how long. Thus, the first week against the background of a developing pregnancy, signs rarely appear, and a woman, as a rule, does not know about her condition.

Symptoms in the second week after conception and later

The 2nd week of pregnancy is a period when new sensations can manifest themselves more clearly. Often for a period of 10 days or 12 days, that is, at 2 weeks, women are already conducting a test, relying on the fact that they have new sensations. The second week of delay is the period that may already be accompanied by nausea, appetite disturbances, and drowsiness. However, only the doctor, and not the expectant mother, can determine how long for 12 days of delay based on her feelings.

At 2 and 3 weeks after conception, many pregnant women lose weight, as they show a certain intelligibility in food and other unpleasant sensations. The second and third weeks - the period when pregnancy after conception is manifested by changes in the mammary glands - the beginning of pregnancy is marked by the fact that the breast becomes very sensitive. Later, when the fourth week comes, the breasts will become heavier, also the 4th week is the period when you can feel the first signs toxicosis .

What other signs are there, and on what day they appear, can be found in the relevant literature. And about how the fetus develops, it is worth watching a video that will help a woman realize how all the processes occur after conception.

It should be noted that the early signs of a second pregnancy may be atypical and manifest differently than the first time. In the early stages, their absence is possible - everything happens without signs of pregnancy. It should be noted that the so-called hidden pregnancy is asymptomatic, so a woman may not suspect for a long time that she is expecting a baby.

Signs of pregnancy after a delay

If there is a delay in menstruation, the woman is actively interested in what first signs of pregnancy in the early stages may occur, and in what week these signs appear. During this period, expectant mothers often turn to a thematic forum that discusses various features of the first weeks - are there signs or no signs, what are the earliest symptoms that develop, etc., how do a number of signs manifest themselves in multiple pregnancies, etc. .

Most often, women note that already in the first days they either have an increased appetite, or no appetite at all. There are other signs - low temperature and shivering, strange sensations in the stomach and the navel itches, a constant change of mood. Some women describe only the main symptoms, some find 25 signs in themselves.

But even if a woman notes a number of signs that may indicate conception - lack of appetite, a slight cold, tearfulness, chills without fever, etc., you do not need to run to the doctor on the second day after the delay.

But later, during a visit to the doctor, it is important to tell him about what symptoms are taking place. After all, the first weeks of pregnancy, and the first, and second, and subsequent, are a period when the risk of interruption is very high. It is important to inform the doctor that there are tingling in the uterus, pain, as before menstruation, other discomfort in the uterus, tingling in the ovaries, etc.

In addition, the doctor can also be asked important questions for a woman: can there be a temperature in the period after conception, can menstruation occur during early pregnancy, the signs of which are already taking place, how many days after conception it starts to feel sick, etc.

However, there are initial symptoms after a delay in menstruation, which can be considered accurate signs of a conception that has occurred. The most accurate signs are as follows:

positive test, which was done at least three times, and, between the time the earliest test was carried out and the last one, several days should elapse. After how many days pregnancy appears on the test, depends on its type. But it is better to do it at least a week after the delay begins.
Gynecological examination on chair. Doctors clearly know how long the exact signs of pregnancy appear. When the gestational age is 6 weeks, the cervix becomes soft, its hue is cyanotic, as the blood flow is activated in it, and during this period a woman may complain that she has pricks in the uterus. There is also a softening of the isthmus between the uterus and the body, an increase in the size of the uterus.
Increased hCG levels in urine and blood. Even if there are no external signs, this indicator not only indicates conception, but is also perceived by a specialist as an indicator of the course of pregnancy. In the first month, hCG doubles every two days, later - every 4 days.
The results of the ultrasound of the uterus. After an ultrasound examination, an implanted fetal egg can be detected for a period of 5 weeks.

Women who have experienced a delay and who are actively interested in what day the symptoms appear, what the signs are, and when more pronounced manifestations begin, should be aware that for a period of 4-6 weeks there is a high probability of spontaneous . Therefore, it is important to "listen" to the body and be careful.

Signs of conception of a boy and a girl

Most future parents would very much like to know from the very first days whether the birth of a girl or a boy awaits them. That is why future mothers are looking for a variety of signs that could indicate the birth of a baby of a certain gender. For example, the difference in the abdomen during pregnancy with a boy or a girl is discussed, the condition of the skin - whether acne appears or not, etc.

But after the test showed two stripes, all the signs that indicate the conception of a boy or girl cannot be considered accurate, and parents should remember this. But still, many mothers talk about the fact that they had certain symptoms indicating the birth of a baby of a certain gender, and ask their friends: “Do girls have a certain sign, do boys have it? Menstruation stops, and certain signs gradually appear that indicate the birth of a boy or girl.

Signs of conception as a boy

You can notice the proven signs of pregnancy as a boy in the first weeks after conception. If a woman is pregnant with a boy, these features can be determined by carefully listening and looking closely at her body. But what symptoms “for a boy” a woman would not find in herself, one must remember that they do not guarantee the birth of a male baby 100%. What are the signs of mothers bearing boys?

External signs	Appearance improves - the skin becomes matte and clean, the condition of nails and hair improves.
Leg temperature	The legs may be cold, while the inside feels hot in the legs and arms. A pregnant woman may be worried about why she throws herself into a fever, but there is no temperature.
Appetite	We are expecting a boy - we eat a lot: from the first days, the appetite increases. At the same time, a woman prefers all possible meat dishes. The "boys" also have other taste preferences.
Nausea	Pregnancy passes without nausea or only slight nausea is noted.
Mood Features	There are no mood fluctuations, activity and efficiency increase, there is no feeling of depression, weakness.
Stomach	Its lower part is rounded in the form of a bulge, after what time such signs appear, depends on individual characteristics, but, as a rule, this feature is noticeable in the later stages.

Signs of conception by a girl

The proven features of pregnancy “for a girl” are described by almost every thematic forum. But what signs of pregnancy with a girl are accurate is also an ambiguous question. Some women notice what signs a girl shows during pregnancy in the first weeks. But sometimes the signs during pregnancy are almost the same for both a boy and a girl. Therefore, it must be taken into account that it is not always what kind of belly a pregnant girl has that is information that will help determine who will be born.

What are the symptoms if the expectant mother is pregnant with a girl?

Appearance	Already in the third week after conception, the appearance changes for the worse. The lips may swell, the skin swells, the face turns pale.
Leg temperature	May feel chills in the legs, but the temperature of the skin of the legs and hands will be elevated.
Appetite	Appetite is reduced or absent from the first weeks. There is a desire to eat sweets, citrus fruits.
Nausea	From which day it starts to feel sick, it can also be a sign of the sex of the fetus. If this is a girl, nausea appears a few weeks after conception, and most of all nausea in the morning.
Mood Features	Characters abrupt mood swings. Strange thoughts are disturbing, a woman commits chaotic actions.
Stomach	It does not increase for a long time, sometimes it even sinks, which is associated with manifestations of nausea and lack of appetite.

Signs of multiple pregnancy

Sometimes, during ovulation and conception, several fetuses begin to develop in the body at once. There are some characteristic symptoms of conception if two or more fetuses develop. It is hardly possible to feel any signs of this phenomenon immediately after conception, but after a few weeks, if conception has occurred, such symptoms appear.

If symptoms of pregnancy after conception indicate a multiple pregnancy, a woman should tell her doctor about this at her first visit. The following signs are likely:

Appearance	It worsens, as a very serious hormonal restructuring occurs in the body, and nausea is also constantly worried. An acne rash appears on the face.
Frequent urination	Describing what signs of multiple pregnancy may be, frequent urination should be noted, since the uterus is already enlarged in the third week.
Appetite	As a rule, you want to eat in this state all the time, although nausea is bothering you. The weight is gaining quickly.
Nausea	It is important to note how many days after conception it begins to vomit. With a multiple pregnancy, you feel sick strongly and very painfully almost from the first week, this condition worries you throughout the day.
Mood Features	In view of constant drowsiness and weakness mood is often depressed, performance deteriorates.
Stomach	Since the uterus grows rapidly, the abdomen is rounded already in the first months, rounding is uniform.

Is it possible to conceive before menstruation?

Is it possible to conceive a child the day before menstruation - the answer to this question depends on the individual physiological characteristics of the female body. After all, the menstrual cycle is often not regular, not only in girls. Those women who have irregular menstrual cycles cannot predict when ovulation occurs. Therefore, it is difficult for them to predict the date of the approaching menstruation. Therefore, conception can occur at almost any time. And if a woman is waiting for menstruation, but they are not, this may indicate that conception has occurred, despite the fact that she did not have sexual intercourse on the days of the alleged ovulation. The days of ovulation sometimes shift and hormonal imbalance .

If there is a suspicion that conception has occurred, how to find out that you are pregnant can be "suggested" by external signs. In this situation, it is important, first of all, to listen to your body.

Sometimes, after a delay of 5 days, the expectant mother feels a little sick, white discharge appears, as thrush aggravates or yellow discharge appears before menstruation. The fact that the conception of a child has occurred is also evidenced by an increased basal temperature of 37 per week or 5 days, 6 days. In addition, you should pay attention to such signs:

enlargement of the abdomen, heaviness in the abdomen;
strong appetite, but at the same time sick;
intermittent high fever (there may be a temperature, but sometimes it throws you into a fever, but there is no temperature);
breast changes (high sensitivity, darkened nipples);
discharge (if you are pregnant, it often worsens or thrush begins), etc.

However, not all of these symptoms appear in everyone. And if a woman is interested in when to do the test, doubting whether she will show the test a week before menstruation or 2 days before menstruation pregnancy, it is better for her to wait a bit with such a check.

Advising how to determine pregnancy, experts say that the test should be carried out at least 3 times. For example, 4 days after the delay, 7 days or 8 days, and 3 more days after the second positive test. If two stripes appeared three times, it can be assumed that the conception took place.

If a woman assumes that she will soon become a mother, she has a lot of questions about why she gets hot during her period, can there be nausea in the first days, why the body swells, how many days weight increases and much more. All of them can be assigned to a specialist.

Is menstruation possible after conception?

Many women also ask if menstruation is possible after fertilization has occurred, for example, is menstruation possible a week after conception.

As a rule, conception occurs after menstruation on the 12-15th day, during the period of ovulation. Those who are interested in whether menstruation can go after conception should take into account that the onset of pregnancy can entail the so-called ovulatory bleeding when a vessel is damaged during ovulation. When the embryo is fixed in the uterus, perhaps the so-called implantation bleeding . During this period, the woman is already interested in whether nausea can be a sign of pregnancy, whether the thrush passes - that is, she gradually feels the signs of conception.

However, sometimes the sensations, as with menstruation, and spotting indicate a threat. It is especially dangerous if the bleeding is profuse, chills and other unpleasant sensations are disturbing. Premature periods during pregnancy may indicate a miscarriage.

Pregnancy during menstruation is also possible with injuries, hormonal failure. Sometimes meager periods are noted - 2 days. Whether there can be pregnancy in this case can only be determined by analysis. If menstruation is noted after a delay and in subsequent months, then the so-called color pregnancy . Noticing certain signs, a woman may think that she has a cold or other illness.

Ectopic pregnancy and monthly at the same time - also a possible phenomenon. In any case, if a woman suspects pregnancy during menstruation, she will not be helped by a thematic forum, but by a specialist consultation.

Sometimes spotting during pregnancy is accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms: a woman is shivering, her temperature rises, low pressure is noted even if low blood pressure is uncharacteristic for her. In such a situation, it is important not to delay a visit to the doctor, who needs to be told what signs during menstruation in pregnant women were observed.

However, some manifestations may be signs of a normally developing pregnancy. For example, sometimes it throws you into a fever at night, and a woman is also interested in why she is shivering, why her face swells, etc.

conclusions

Thus, there are many signs - external, physiological, laboratory, with the help of which one can initially suspect, and later confirm fertilization. How and when such symptoms appear, after how many days they appear after conception, depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

With the test, you should wait a bit: on the 7th day immediately after conception, even a supersensitive test will not determine anything.

When the first signs appear, you should “listen” to the body and know what symptoms may indicate conception. When such signs begin to appear, you do not need to immediately run to the doctor. It should be clearly understood whether there is a delay, that is, wait "through menstruation."

If you suspect that conception has occurred, many questions arise. So, some women are interested in why they are shivering before menstruation, are the fever in the abdomen, back pain, colic in the uterus signs that fertilization has occurred. Some ladies are also interested in how to feel that conception has occurred.

But even if there are no periods for 37 days, before talking about pregnancy, you need to accurately confirm fertilization. And if so far the lady is not sure about conception, and questions arise whether there may be a delay in menstruation with a cold or a temperature due to a cold, and the test showed fuzzy stripes after the first time, it is important to be conscious about your own health. For now, questions should not arise whether it is possible to drink beer or other types of alcohol.

How else to call the state of bearing a baby? This is a period when a woman is responsible not only for her health and life. The health of the unborn baby must be taken care of even before conception, and in the first weeks of his intrauterine life, this should be done especially carefully.

Many women claim that they feel their pregnancy from the first days. It makes no sense to dispute such statements, and there is no need to do so. Another thing is that such women also want to get confirmation of their feelings as soon as possible. So they are wondering how to determine pregnancy before a delay.

Why might this be required? It all depends on whether the woman wants a child or not. In the first case, she, most likely, really wants to know as soon as possible whether her attempts at conception were successful. In the second, it is very important to diagnose pregnancy as early as possible in order to have an early abortion. After all, it is known that the earlier an abortion is done, the lower the risk of complications.

According to doctors, there are no reliable ways to determine pregnancy before a delay, but this is not entirely true. There are many ways of varying degrees of certainty. They will be discussed below.

There are three fairly reliable ways to recognize pregnancy even before a delay. So, a symptom of pregnancy before a delay can be a change in basal body temperature.

The easiest way to determine this is if you are systematically measuring basal temperature. Unfortunately, many women still use the basal temperature chart as a method of contraception. In this role, he is not very effective, and the risk of becoming pregnant is very high.

Much more effective is the basal temperature in terms of determining the days favorable for conception. The fact is that on the day of ovulation, it rises to an average of 37 degrees. Naturally, for a more accurate result, the basal temperature chart must be kept for several months.

The basal temperature continues to remain high until almost the most monthly, and about a week before they begin, the temperature begins to decrease. So, if there is less than a week before menstruation, and the basal temperature is still high, the woman may well be pregnant, because if pregnancy occurs, the basal temperature does not fall.

An early symptom of pregnancy before a delay is the development. This hormone is produced by the chorion, from which the placenta is subsequently formed. This means that the increased presence of hCG in the blood of a healthy woman is not normal. As a rule, this indicates pregnancy. In those rare cases when hCG is found in non-pregnant women, this may be a symptom of cancer or a consequence of taking medicines.

There are two ways to determine the presence of HCG. The test is an ideal opportunity to determine pregnancy before a delay at home. Of course, on the packaging of the tests they write that the tests give a reliable result only after the first day of the delay. In fact, the level of hCG becomes sufficient to determine the test 10-14 days after conception, and this is a few days before the onset of menstruation.

However, in order to get reliable results, the following rules must be strictly observed. First, you need to acquire the most sensitive test. Secondly, it must be carried out in the morning in the first urine, in it the most high concentration hCG. Thirdly, strictly follow the instructions for the test.

However, the test at any time may give an incorrect result. In the end, you may end up with a defective test. It will be much more accurate to take a blood test for hCG in a antenatal clinic. It gives results as early as 10 days after conception. Donate blood in the morning on an empty stomach.

Additional signs to determine pregnancy before a delay

However, many women, before going to a consultation for analysis, would like to at least roughly estimate how likely pregnancy is in their particular case. Standard signs, such as toxicosis, are not helpful in this case, since they appear after a delay.

What are the symptoms of pregnancy in the early stages before the delay, it makes sense to pay attention? There are several.

implantation bleeding

The very first symptom of pregnancy before a delay is, perhaps, implantation bleeding. It occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the endometrium.

Until this moment, any signs of pregnancy are impossible, since the fetal egg during this period does not come into contact with the mother's body in any way, which means that there are no changes in the body yet.

At the time of implantation, a fertilized egg can damage tiny blood vessels, which provokes the release of blood. These discharges are usually spotting, red or pink in color and last no more than a few hours.

Few people pay attention to implantation bleeding, since it is only a couple of days ahead of menstruation. In addition, there may not be any discharge, because damage to blood vessels is a matter of chance.

Frequent urge to urinate

Feelings in the first days of pregnancy before the delay are very different, and all of them can be signs of pregnancy. For example, due to hormonal changes, the sphincter of the bladder may relax, and the urge to urinate may become more frequent.

The nature of vaginal discharge may also change. On the day of ovulation, as you know, there are abundant mucous discharges, with the onset of pregnancy they reappear, since it appears on the cervix during this period, which will protect the uterus from external influences throughout the pregnancy.

breast augmentation

Swelling of the mammary glands and pain in the lower abdomen are also referred to as symptoms of early pregnancy. However, before menstruation in women, the sensations are usually similar. So the reliability of such signs is questionable. It rises if menstruation does not begin at the appointed time. As you know, not only pregnancy can cause a delay in menstruation, but such a combination of signs already says a lot.

Change in sex drive

Many women in the first weeks of pregnancy feel a sharp change in sexual desire. It also happens due to hormonal changes. And the direction of fluctuations is very individual, someone experiences a sharp rise in sexual desire, while others, on the contrary, do not want sex at all during this period.

Folk signs of pregnancy before delay

How to determine pregnancy before delay by folk methods and means? It turns out that there are some.

Iodine

Some suggest using regular iodine from the first aid kit instead of a pregnancy test. It needs to be dropped into a container with urine, if a drop remains on the surface, then the woman is pregnant, if it immediately dissolves, then no. You can also drip on a cloth soaked in urine. In this case, look at the color change: purple - the result is positive, blue - negative.

Urine

There are other folk methods for determining pregnancy before urinary retention, as it is suggested to boil it in a metal container, and then pour it into a glass one. It seems like white flakes should fall out in the urine during pregnancy. And in the Middle Ages, urine was mixed with red wine. In non-pregnant women, the mixture should become cloudy, in a pregnant woman it should remain clear.

Bulb

dream interpretation

However, if you buy fish, cook or eat it in a dream, the dream book will claim that you are pregnant. The same goes for dreams about swimming in clean water.

Is it possible to determine the onset of pregnancy before the delay of menstruation? Are there early signs of pregnancy, even before the delay? After all, many women say that they knew about their pregnancy even before a positive test result? Or maybe you have already noticed some changes in your body?

All over the world it is customary to count the beginning of pregnancy from the first day of the last menstruation. And since ovulation occurs on average on the 14th day of the cycle, the first two weeks of pregnancy, in fact, you are not pregnant yet. During this period, an egg begins to form, which can later be fertilized. So the first signs of pregnancy appear 2-3 weeks after fertilization, in fact, already at 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. Simply put, at the 4th week of the cycle, even before the delay in menstruation, the onset of pregnancy may manifest itself with some signs.

In the event that fertilization has successfully occurred, the body of the expectant mother begins an active restructuring aimed at successfully bearing and giving birth to a child.

HCG is responsible for the normal course of pregnancy in a woman and is found only during pregnancy and sometimes with certain diseases. An increase in hCG is noted already in the first weeks of pregnancy, even before the delay in menstruation. You can track the growth of hCG using laboratory tests of urine and blood. A blood test for hCG allows you to detect the growth of hCG at the earliest possible time. You can also determine the growth of hCG using pregnancy tests. It makes sense to determine the level of hCG no earlier than 10-12 days from the intended conception.

33 first signs of pregnancy before a missed period: delayed menstruation.

A missed period is one of the most obvious and well-known symptoms of pregnancy. However, a delay in menstruation can also be with a number of certain diseases, as well as the body's reaction to stress, hypothermia or a sharp change in time zones, for example, when traveling, traveling on vacation. But if you have an active and regular sex life and you have a delay in menstruation, you need to do a pregnancy test to confirm or refute doubts.

33 first signs of pregnancy before missed period: positive test.

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to determine pregnancy is a pregnancy test. It is not expensive, the price starts from 12-15 rubles. It is very easy to use and is sold in almost every pharmacy. When can I do a pregnancy test? In this question, you must follow the instructions for the test. Most tests are designed to be used from the first day of a missed period. But there are also more sensitive tests, the manufacturers of which assure that testing is possible at earlier dates, even before the onset of a delay in menstruation. It is advisable to do the test in the morning, while not urinating before the test for at least 6 hours. Then the concentration of hCG in the urine will reach the maximum level and more likely to get accurate results.

It should be noted that a positive test almost always means the onset of pregnancy, except in exceptional cases, when in some diseases an increase in hCG in the blood is also observed. However, a negative test does not always indicate the absence of pregnancy. Sometimes there are also cases when the second strip is visible very weakly and not clearly. In these cases, it is necessary to repeat the test after 2 days to confirm or disprove all doubts.

And in conclusion, I would like to say that the first signs of pregnancy before the delay in menstruation are always relative and may be symptoms of prolonged PMS. The most accurate sign of pregnancy is the absence of menstruation. In this case, to obtain an accurate result, you must consult a doctor.

Here is what medicine says about the first signs of pregnancy before the delay in menstruation. And psychologists advise women to relax and not rush in this important matter. Hurry and motherhood are not compatible. Therefore, we need to learn patience now. If the first signs of pregnancy appear before the delay in menstruation, you should wait for the first day of the delay and take a test. If the test is negative, there are no periods, and the first signs of pregnancy persist, you should wait two days and repeat the test. And it makes no sense to buy packs of tests, disappointed when one test after another shows a negative result. Attributing everything to the fact that the tests are not of high quality or you did them early. Such behavior leads to neurosis, which in turn leads to disturbances in hormonal background women and does not contribute to the onset of pregnancy. Tune in a positive way, you will become a mother in any case, not in this cycle, but in another!
