Pregnancy- early symtoms and signs that might mean you have become pregant.
When will I know and how can I tell if I'm pregnant?
Wait until you miss a period. Once the egg and sperm hook-up, the fertilized
egg still has to travel down to the uterus, which takes about a week. Often, the
fertilized egg just keeps going and gets flushed out of your system with your
menstrual cycle. It's not until the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus
that you are officially pregnant. That's when your body starts making new
hormones and responding. A pregnancy test won't be accurate until your period is
due because it tests for pregnancy hormones. Now just because you miss a period
doesn't mean you're definitely pregnant. Many things can cause a period to be
late, especially stress (like worrying about if your pregnant). Some other
symptoms of pregnancy--like nausea, tender breasts, high emotions--are also
signs that your period is coming! Some women don't get any symptoms except a
missed period. So the only way to really know if you are pregnant is to get a
pregnancy test.
Many women have typical symptoms of pregnancy even before they miss their period. However, most of the typical pregnancy
symptoms and signs are directly related to the pregnancy hormone hCG. Small amounts of hCG enter the blood stream several days after
implantation, about 8-10 days after ovulation. Thus, typical pregnancy symptoms
typically do not appear until the hCG has reached sufficient levels which is
about 1-2 weeks after you miss your period (3-4 weeks after ovulation, or 2-3
weeks after implantation), at a time when the hCG has risen enough. Nothing will
really confirm a pregnancy except a positive pregnancy test.
