Headache can be a symptom of pregnancy. The very first, the earliest - all about the signs of pregnancy before the delay and after it. Disruption of the gastrointestinal tract

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 the menstrual cycle has failed, 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 back wall of the uterus occurs more often, since it is thicker, many vessels are concentrated in it and better conditions are created 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 can be a slight spotting 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 in basal 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 headache is deservedly considered the first signs of pregnancy, because some women felt this symptom of the birth of a new life within a few days after conception, although most women experience a headache as a sign of pregnancy much later (closer to the III trimester). It also happens that migraines come in the early stages, then disappear and return again, closer to childbirth.

Why does my head hurt during pregnancy?

• hormonal changes;
• hypotension*- often occurs in the first trimester, especially in combination with toxicosis;
• hypertension ** - typical for late toxicosis or III trimester. Often combined with edema and can be a marker of various pathologies;
• food - eating foods high in phenylamine or tyramine (dairy products, sausages, coffee, wine, citrus fruits, chocolate), as well as cold dishes;
• malnutrition and constant feeling of hunger;
• overweight;
• long stay in an uncomfortable position;
• allergy;
• dehydration;
• strong odors, noise, flickering light and other similar irritants;
• climate change;
• stress;
• overwork and lack of sleep;
• "Weekend headache";
• poor indoor climate;
• diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
• pathologies (vegetovascular dystonia, renal diseases, sinusitis).

The most common type of headache during pregnancy are migraines, which can be accompanied by vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances*** and blurred vision. At the same time, judging by the statistics, in 15% of women, the head began to hurt just after conception, and before that, migraine attacks had never bothered them. It happens, and vice versa, that headaches cease to torment a woman precisely after she becomes pregnant. The reason for the latter is seen in the absence of menstruation, during which many suffer from migraines.

Treatment of migraine during pregnancy

Any adult can easily name several drugs or folk recipes to combat migraines. But what to do if a pregnant woman has a headache, because she should not take antispasmodics and many other similar drugs. It should be noted that taking any drugs during pregnancy is a last resort, and such a decision should be made exclusively by a doctor, assessing the risks to the fetus. And in order not to bring to such an extreme state, you must carefully monitor your health and consult a doctor if:

* - low blood pressure

** - high blood pressure

*** - gastrointestinal tract

Whether the conception was a long-awaited miracle or an unplanned surprise, any girl wants to know about it as early as possible. Therefore, women are so fond of sharing descriptions of the first signs of pregnancy. After all, tests promise results only after a delay. But you still need to live up to it! And what is a girl to do, eaten by curiosity, hope or anxiety?

We warn you right away: it is useful to know about these signs, but you should not attach too much importance to them. Because they are very subjective and can serve as symptoms of very different conditions.

The female egg is capable of fertilization the first 12 hours after ovulation. If a woman keeps track of her cycle and knows exactly when the egg was released, she can determine whether conception occurred after the act or not.

The symptoms of pregnancy in the first days after conception are similar to the signs of PMS of varying severity. The fact is that during the luteal period, a woman’s body always prepares for pregnancy - just in case. And the processes that take place in it after the release of the egg are always the same for about two weeks, regardless of whether conception has occurred or not.

The corpus luteum, which remains in the ovary after ovulation, produces the hormone progesterone, so in women the breasts swell and become sensitive, irritability, drowsiness, fatigue appear, more often you want to go to the toilet and so on. If pregnancy really has come, then the signs continue, intensify and become more characteristic, and if not, menstruation comes.

Therefore, before the onset of menstruation, many women notice certain symptoms in themselves, which are often considered signs of conception. Their presence, severity and strength depend on the characteristics of the organism. They are not obligatory at all - neither in the case of pregnancy, nor in the case of its absence.

Many symptoms may not even be caused by PMS, but by ordinary illness or stress. Therefore, relying on such signs of conception is not 100% worth it. But knowing them is useful - at least for your own peace of mind.

If a woman usually passes the second phase of the cycle without pronounced symptoms, the presence of such signs can serve as a kind of “beacon” and allow one to suspect an interesting situation.

As a rule, at 1 week, pregnancy is not even considered a pregnancy yet. At this time, the fertilized egg moves through the tubes to the uterus, where it will have to gain a foothold and spend the next 9 months. There are no obvious signs these days, although discharge uncharacteristic for the phase of the cycle, pulling sensations in the abdomen, drowsiness, headache and irritability may appear. But for many women, the entire second phase is accompanied by just such symptoms - the notorious PMS is made up of them.

Usually the first signs appear about 8-10 days after conception. In many ways, it depends on the characteristics of the body of each particular woman, on her attentiveness and level of sensitivity. It is at week 2 that some expectant mothers are faced with such a phenomenon as implantation bleeding.

After the fertilization of the egg has occurred, it moves to the uterus and is fixed in one of its walls. In this case, microruptures of vessels and capillaries may occur, which are accompanied by bleeding. This phenomenon occurs in only 20-30% of all pregnancies, and sometimes it is mistaken for menstruation that began ahead of time.

However, it is not difficult to distinguish blood smearing during embryo implantation from normal menstruation. It lasts only a few hours, less often it goes all day. At the same time, its intensity is weak and does not increase. The color of the discharge is light brown, bright red or pink. The analysis for the level of hCG at this time is not yet informative, since the changes are just beginning.

Signs of pregnancy at week 3 are already more distinct. The sensations in the chest increase - soreness, sensitivity, tingling, the areolas around the nipples darken. Taste preferences and reaction to smells change, chronic diseases become aggravated. As a rule, at this time a delay in menstruation is already detected, so it's time to do a test or donate blood for hCG.

How to recognize pregnancy early

Precisely recognizing pregnancy before a delay is an unrealistic task. After all, the main reliable sign is the absence of bleeding on day X. However, there are certain symptoms that tell a woman that something is wrong with her. However, as mentioned above, you cannot completely rely on it.

Increased BT

Those women who regularly measure basal temperature know that after ovulation, it always rises sharply by a few tenths of a degree. This usually lasts about two weeks and before menstruation, the temperature returns to normal. If pregnancy occurs, the temperature will remain above 37 for about two more months.

It is believed that a sign of conception after ovulation is an increase in BBT to 37-37.5 degrees at the very end. This is noted by many mothers, although there is no exact confirmation of this phenomenon. At 1 week of pregnancy, this is facilitated by a high level of progesterone produced by the corpus luteum.

Insomnia and nervousness

With hormonal imbalance caused by changes in the female body, many systems and organs work in a new way. This greatly affects the emotional background of a woman. Therefore, the first symptoms of pregnancy can also manifest themselves in the form of irritability, nervousness, which lead to insomnia.

Drowsiness, fatigue, low blood pressure

Sometimes a feeling of drowsiness appears in the first days of pregnancy, a woman gets tired faster and feels tired even after a long rest. Head spinning due to low blood pressure. These signs of pregnancy are also subjective and unreliable, they can happen due to normal overwork.

Discomfort in the abdomen and lower back

Secondary symptoms of pregnancy also manifest as strange sensations in the abdomen or lumbar region. At the beginning of pregnancy, the blood supply to the pelvic organs increases, so women often feel heaviness and pressure, discomfort in a sitting position.

There may be a pulling pain in the lower back, although this is often a sign of kidney problems. But the growing pain in the lower abdomen can warn of an ectopic or threatened miscarriage. Changes in the uterus sometimes cause a tingling sensation, although not all girls feel it. Another sign of pregnancy in the second week, and even later, is bloating. Hormonal changes lead to relaxation of the intestinal muscles and flatulence.

Headache

The first signs of pregnancy before menstruation include spontaneous headaches. They are caused by hormonal fluctuations. At the same time, there are no external reasons for a migraine - the girl did not catch a cold, slept well, did not sit in a stuffy room.

Zhor or lack of appetite

After conception, the metabolism speeds up, so signs of pregnancy also include an increase in appetite.

The opposite picture can also be observed - a woman cannot swallow a spoon. As a rule, this is due to changes in the perception of taste and aromas of food.

Intolerance to certain odors

During pregnancy, many women become very sensitive to smells and tastes. This applies not only to food, but to everything that surrounds a woman - cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, flowers. The girl vividly feels smells and tastes that she had not paid attention to before. Or unexpectedly “fell out of love” with those that she used to like.

indigestion

Hormonal changes are often accompanied by changes in the digestive tract. Girls may suffer from constipation or diarrhea, belching, heartburn. Nausea and vomiting, which are the first signs of pregnancy, are rare before a missed period. As a rule, toxicosis begins at about 4 weeks.

Increased body temperature, cold

So that the body does not reject the embryo, which is a foreign body for it, after conception, the woman's immunity decreases. That is why one of the common symptoms of pregnancy is a cold (ARVI).

However, an increase in body temperature to 37 degrees is, in principle, typical for the first months of pregnancy, and due to hormonal imbalance, a woman is sometimes thrown into heat or cold.

Acne

After a woman becomes pregnant, her body begins a large-scale hormonal restructuring, so many people notice the appearance of rashes on the skin - acne, blackheads - among the early symptoms of pregnancy. It is especially worth paying attention to those who have not been bothered by such symptoms before. It should be remembered that acne often accompanies the second phase of the cycle, so the symptom is subjective and unreliable.

Pigmented spots on the face and darkening of the nipples

Many consider the appearance of various age spots on the face or darkening of the areolas of the chest as a sign of fertilization of the egg. These signs are also subjective and cannot serve as a reliable guide. In some women, the areolas become very dark already in the first month of pregnancy, while others do not notice this until the very end. The body of each woman is unique, so the birth of a new life always goes a little differently than others.

Frequent urination

Pregnancy before the delay can also be determined by the frequency of trips to the toilet in a small way. Frequent urges are associated both with increased blood flow to the female organs, with a hormonal storm. And they can be explained by exacerbated inflammatory processes, for example, cystitis.

Is there an early pregnancy without symptoms

If the child is long-awaited, the expectant mother anxiously monitors the slightest signs and changes in her body. But it happens that a woman finds out about her new position only after a delay. And if the cycle is irregular and her periods are regularly late, then even later. It happens that pregnancy is detected only in the third or fifth month after conception, when the belly is already growing. Since there were no symptoms before. Occasionally, even menstruation can persist (or rather, it is no longer menstruation, but bleeding) in the first 1-2 months. This, of course, rarely happens.

As a rule, signs of pregnancy in the first week after conception are almost imperceptible or may be absent altogether, and this is the norm. At this time, changes in the woman's body have not yet entered into full force, and basically coincide with the usual sensations in the second phase of the cycle or with the symptoms of PMS.

Reliable signs of pregnancy

The true signs of pregnancy in the first month include characteristic symptoms that appear a few weeks after fertilization. As a rule, the time of their appearance is the third or fourth week of pregnancy, when the restructuring in the mother's body is gaining momentum. Their appearance can tell a woman that conception has occurred. But not all of them will necessarily appear: the absence of any of these symptoms is only an individual feature of the body.

Delay of menstruation

Delayed menstruation is one of the most famous and true signs of conception. But only if the woman has a more or less regular cycle and does not suffer from diseases that cause long delays.

As a rule, in a healthy woman, menstruation occurs at the same time, although slight fluctuations of 1-2 days in one direction or another are possible, associated with illness or stress. Therefore, a delay of 4 days is already an occasion to listen more carefully to the sensations and conduct a pregnancy test.

If the cycle is not too regular, then a delay of up to 5-6 days, not accompanied by other symptoms, cannot yet serve as a reliable sign of pregnancy. In this case, it is advisable to postpone the test for 7-8 days of delay, since earlier it can give either a false positive or a false negative result.

Signs of pregnancy in the first days of delay already appear more noticeably, so if the absence of menstruation is accompanied by abundant white discharge, increased fatigue and drowsiness, chest pain and nausea, a woman may well think about her interesting situation.

breast swelling

Another characteristic symptom is changes in the mammary glands. They can swell, become painful, sensitive, the areola darkens - although all this refers to unreliable signs. Typically, the increase in progesterone secretion associated with conception causes a marked increase in breast size, as well as the appearance of nipple bumps. Sometimes colostrum may ooze.

Pigmentation on abdomen

Almost all pregnant women notice the appearance of a dark pigmented strip on the abdomen - it goes from the navel to the pubic bone. Sometimes this sign of pregnancy appears even in the early stages, although it usually happens later - by about 4-5 months.

Nausea

A lot of women are waiting for pregnancy with fear, having heard a lot of horrors about toxicosis. Of course, it also happens that nausea and vomiting simply bring the expectant mother to exhaustion, and the smell of some products literally turns inside out. But for many girls, morning sickness passes quickly, with little to no inconvenience. And some women note that they have not encountered toxicosis at all.

How to detect early pregnancy

Diagnosis of pregnancy in the early stages is possible, starting from the day of the alleged delay in menstruation. The earliest is the tenth day after conception, before this period no one will give a reliable result.

Diagnostic methods include:

Expecting pregnancy, a woman can take any manifestations and reactions of her body for her signs. Therefore, it is still not worth buying a test with loss of appetite, it is better to wait for a delay. In addition, many signs are only secondary and subjective. They are caused by the hormone progesterone, which is actively produced in the second phase of the cycle, regardless of whether conception has occurred or not.

Online test: find out the truth in two minutes

Is something weird happening to you? Are you already pregnant? Some signs of pregnancy are so subtle and unexpected that many girls do not notice them or take them for a common ailment. Pass our test (it will take just a couple of minutes) and a lot will become clear to you. The test is intended only for those who doubt their position, and whose expected obstetric period does not exceed 5-6 weeks, and not for "deeply pregnant".

1. Are you late?

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 - This is the process when an egg ready for fertilization comes out of the ovarian follicle into the abdominal cavity. 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 shows certain signs. In frequency, some women have lower back pain at this time, 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, it depends, first of all, on the characteristics of the 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 body.
• 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. Other signs are also noted - a low temperature and shivering, strange sensations in the abdomen 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 missed period, 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?

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?

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:

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.

Some women are looking forward to pregnancy, for others - it turns out to be an absolute surprise. But for both the first and second, it is important to understand whether the miracle of conception has happened or not, and preferably as soon as possible. How to spot an attack pregnancy before missed period what to pay attention to and whatappear most often? If you notice that some changes are taking place in the body that are not entirely clear to you, we will explain which of them indicate the onset of pregnancy, and which are not related to this.

By the way, many women claim that they "knew" about the onset of pregnancy, or rather felt, even before the test showed two strips. We will list someso that you clarify your condition for yourself and draw the appropriate conclusions.

· Signs of pregnancy before delay: first week

To begin with, in fact, the 1st week of pregnancy starts even before pregnancy itself. Exactly. In medicine, a full-term pregnancy is considered a period of 40 weeks of carrying a baby. But the reference point in obstetrics is the date of the first day of the last menstruation.

It is during menstruation that the egg begins to form, which is some prototype of the future heir or heiress. During this first week, the woman's body will choose the best, one of the three hundred thousand formed eggs, to further create a new life.

It is clear that there are simply no signs of pregnancy on the 1st week, because menstruation is still going on or has just ended, and conception has not occurred. In fact, the earliest, which can be recognized or felt, begin to appear only from the 2-3rd week after the last monthly, that is, from the middle.

· The first signs of pregnancy after conception

When conception has occurred, the woman's body begins to actively change its tasks and functions, adapting to the needs of the unborn child growing in her mother's tummy. Many may turn out to be unpleasant for you, and some even painful. Alas, the restructuring of the body to a completely new mode of life cannot pass without a trace, and therefore it is worth being patient.

Try to treat your own feelings calmly and with understanding. But remember: pregnancy is not a disease, but only a new state of the body, albeit not always rosy. At the end of this test, you will receive a well-deserved reward - the birth of your blood.

So let's listcharacteristic in most cases in women awaiting replenishment:

1. small bleeding;
2. change and increase in basal temperature;
3. malaise;
4. increased sensitivity of the breast;
5. sensations of "fullness" in the lower abdomen, tingling inside the uterus, bloating, possibly intestinal upset, all at once or separately;
6. fatigue, drowsiness, absent-mindedness;
7. can throw it into the heat, then into the cold;
8. aversion to smells, nausea, changes in taste, increased salivation;
9. back pain, headaches;
10. frequent urination;
11. increase in vaginal discharge;
12. delay of menstruation.

Why are these changes taking place? Will all pregnant women experience them? And is there any reason to worry if there is a pregnancy, but there are no signs? Let's deal with everything in order.

1. : slight bleeding

Any woman can be a little puzzled by discharge, vaguely reminiscent of the onset of menstruation. The first thought is that menstruation somehow starts in a wrong way, and somehow at the wrong time. secretionsafter conception a yellowish-brown color and a small amount are characteristic - they are not plentiful, but rather smearing.

These so-called implantation bleedings are the mostfirst signs of pregnancy before missed period . They can appear 6-12 days after conception, when planting, implantation, or simply attachment of the embryo to the uterine wall occurs.

The presence of implantation bleeding is not at all necessary, you may not notice it. But if they are repeated even after a delay in menstruation, then you should be wary and visit a gynecologist immediately. At this time, there is a risk of miscarriage, so it makes sense to take a closer look at your health.

2. The first signs of pregnancy: a change in basal temperature

Early signs of pregnancy before a delay are led by an increase in basal body temperature, starting at the time of ovulation, that is, in the second half of a woman's menstrual cycle. To to determine this symptom, you need to measure body temperature in the rectum for several days in a row. This should be done in the morning, immediately after waking up and without getting out of bed - this is important for reliability. The basal temperature during pregnancy is consistently above 37 degrees, as a rule, it is in the range of 37-37.2, but in some cases it can rise up to 38 degrees.

This happens because in the body at the onset of conception, the level of the hormone progesterone rises, which affects the rise in temperature indicators.

True, the elevated basal temperature persists only during the first two weeks after conception, and more precisely, in the future, the temperature does not say anything. When the placenta begins to fully function, the temperature should recover. If this does not happen, then either something is wrong with the pregnancy, or the temperature increase was not associated with the onset of pregnancy. For more details on this feature, see the article..

3. early signs of pregnancy before delay: malaise

Some women who are not yet aware that they are pregnant think they have caught a cold. Such sensations are explained by the fact that the body temperature rises slightly in the early stages, and as a result, malaise, increased fatigue.

However, there is indeed some deterioration in well-being: a runny nose may begin, sore throats may appear. General immunity at this time is slightly reduced, pregnancy becomes an absolute priority for the body.

4. The first signs of pregnancy: breast tenderness

Changes in sensations and some swelling, swelling of the breast - a sign of pregnancy, characteristic of the 1-2nd weekafter conception . The breast of a woman becomes more sensitive: soreness at the slightest touch, at times it is literally impossible to touch it. However, such signs of pregnancy before a delay are not at all necessary, it happens the other way around: a woman does not feel changes in her breasts and wonders why she does not hurt, as usually happens before menstruation.

Darkening of the skin around the nipple area may indicate the beginning of pregnancy. Also, there may be discharge from the nipples when pressed. The body thus prepares the mammary glands for breastfeeding the baby after birth.

5. The first signs of pregnancy before menstruation : sensations in the lower abdomen

The development of pregnancy involves all the forces of the woman's body. To the pelvic area P There is a significant increase in blood flow, the pregnant uterus begins to increase in size. Therefore, many women say that they feel the uterus right from the earliest dates. In addition to the feeling of "fullness" in the lower abdomen, tingling inside the uterus, swelling is possible, and sometimes intestinal upset. Such early signs may appear all at once or separately, or not at all.

For the same reason, it is possible hemorrhoids And pregnancy varicose veins . In general, such phenomena are characteristic of the second half of pregnancy, due to an increase in the fetus and uterus. But for some expectant mothers, mostly multiparous, these problems may appear in the early stages.

6. Signs of pregnancy: fatigue, drowsiness, absent-mindedness

Rapid fatigue, constant drowsiness, a state of absent-mindedness, sometimes anxiety, sentimentality or excessive emotionality appear all for the same reason: active production of the hormone progesterone, a complete restructuring of the female body focused on pregnancy.

Progesterone has an overwhelming effect on the psyche, causing drowsiness. This state of affairs will not last long. Already after the 10th week of pregnancy, the placenta begins to produce its own hormones, then the level of estrogens increases, which already have an exciting effect on the woman's psyche.

7. Early signs of pregnancy: it can either throw into the heat, then it becomes cold

This symptom is explained by an increase in temperature that accompanies a pregnant woman in the first few weeks, and a decrease in pressure.

In general, the state of the body that is rebuilding to a new, pregnant way is like a swing: until the processes of change stabilize, there may be fluctuations in well-being, and increased sweating, and a feeling of heat, then cold, and weakness or excessive activity.

8. Signs of pregnancy before menstruation: changes in taste, aversion to smells, nausea, salivation

Early toxicosis is one of the main signs of pregnancy. Nausea and even vomiting occurs, as a rule, from the 2nd week, and can continue throughout the pregnancy, periodically intensifying, then receding. This phenomenon is explained by changes in the functional state of the female central nervous system.

Changes in taste, taste preferences, as well as aversion to certain smells are characteristic of most women, only some lucky women manage to avoid these problems while carrying a baby.

Vomiting can occur twice or even more times during the day, it may be accompanied by profuse salivation and a decrease in appetite. In such cases, you should consult your doctor.

9. Signs of pregnancy: back pain, frequent headaches

In the region of the sacrum, pains resembling "lumbago" may appear, such pain in the lower back is also observed in late pregnancy. The occurrence of headaches is explained by all the same hormones, or rather a sudden change in their quantity in a woman's body.

Such pains also serve as a sign of an interesting situation, but for the most part indirect. As a rule, the level of hormones levels off by the end of the first trimester, headaches also disappear, and the expectant mother can truly enjoy her position - the second trimester will bring noticeable relief to the pregnant woman.

10. Signs of pregnancy after conception: increased frequency of urination

Frequent urination included inearly signs of pregnancy after conception . The reason for them lies in the increase in the level of female hormones in the body, the rush of blood to the pelvis, and temporary changes in kidney function.

In the second trimester, this sign is attributed to the general manifestations of pregnancy. At this time, frequent urination occurs due to the growth of the uterus and its pressure on the woman's bladder.

11. The first signs of conception after a missed period: an increase in vaginal discharge

After conception, as already mentioned, blood flow to the pelvic organs increases, which increases the volume of vaginal discharge.

By the way, these secretions have a protective function: an increased content of hydrogen ions in the vaginal secretion protects the body of the pregnant woman and the baby in her tummy from the penetration of microbes.

But this phenomenon also has a serious disadvantage: this resulting environment is favorable for the reproduction of yeast-like fungi, which is why pregnant women so often have thrush, which requires mandatory competent treatment in order to avoid infection of the fetus. In addition, due to thrush, the risk of ruptures during childbirth increases.

12. Signs of pregnancy: missed period

Changes in the menstrual calendar towards a delay in menstruation is the surest sign of pregnancy, the logical continuation of which is a pregnancy test and a visit to the antenatal clinic.

As discussed earlier, bleeding is possible at the beginning of pregnancy, but they are minor, not heavy and markedly different from menstrual bleeding. In any case, it is important to understand the seriousness of the occurrence of a delay in menstruation, as well as a timely visit to a gynecologist, since a delay can be a symptom of some kind of gynecological disease.

If your pregnancy is confirmed, smile and tune in to an extremely positive perception of the changes taking place in your body. Get ready to become a mommy and be healthy!
