Pregnancy Symptoms – Early Signs of Pregnancy
Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy, however one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.
Implantation Bleeding
Implantation bleeding is the earliest pregnancy symptom. About eight days after conception the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women do bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen / Tender Breasts
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts such as tender to the touch, sore, or swollen. Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all while others will feel nauseous through most of their pregnancy. Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy, however it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy. Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy. Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom. Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker. Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy. Other Explanations: Poor diet, lacking a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.
If you think you are pregnant you may purchase a home pregnancy test such as those made by Clearblue Easy, or you may contact the Association for a local pregnancy testing center that provides free or low-cost pregnancy tests.

Lindsey says...
The last couple of days i have been feeling Nausea. And today i threw up this morning. And i have been getting headacahs. Today my back is hurting a little.
Lena says...
I have been spotting the last few days and it is a dark brown color. I have some other symtoms of pregnancy what what conserns me is that I had my tube tied several years ago.
I get queesy when in a car, I turn away from foods I usually eat, spotting, headaches, fatigue,backaches, my feet are starting to swell and I am getting dizzy for no reason.
Gabby says...
ehh i kind of had a period, but its lighter than it normally is. Also my breast have been lightly tender and ive been tired but i think that has been from staying up too 3 and 4 in the morning.
lorachikita says...
I’m currently 12 dpo and I’ve been spotting brown for the past 3 days, I’ve been getting bad headaches which I’ve never had for 3 days in a row now, fatigue (I’ve even fallen asleep in a restaurant), my back hurts and I get cramps.
shen says...
it’s been excatly 15 days after my last sex.. i didn’t experience some of those symptoms aside from back aches, head aches and stomach cramps.. i already had my menstration for about 1week.. it’s quite lighter but longer period coz usually i only had 3-5 days mens. period… do you think im pregnant??
jelly0418 says...
i had my last menstruation last month day 4…and i had sex aug. 18 and as i calculate it was one of my fertile days….we had an unprotected sex….and im always 28~30 days cycle…and i should have my period this month 2 ~4 and im now delayed for 3~5 days…i had my home pregnancy test last day night and yesterday morning..it was neg. well,some similar and common symptoms that im feeling are…more frequent trips to the bathroom…swollen breast…a little bit more tired than before…i dont have morning sickness but when i eat it feels that im bloating…im not just sure if my areolas are darker than before but there is some impression that they are spreading…well im so confused…i think im gonna wait until next week sat. and decide to if im gonna see a doctor
Pee says...
I think am pregnant, my breasts are swollen and I go to the bathroom quite often. Was expecting my period today, but its still not here. Am I pregnant?
Enary says...
Last month my period seem like it lasted almost 2 weeks bcuz at first it was brown then it became bright red then later red…. I came off the end of Aug now here it is the begining of Sept and I’m on again but this time it’s bright red and I have alot blood clots…. my nipples have been sore for about 2 weeks I’ve been eating butter crunch cookies everyday for a week and lately it’s seems like my stomach gets bigger after every bite or drink….. I took 2 preg test and both were neg…am I pregnant or my just thinking too much of it?
Liz says...
I have the exact same question as Enary, it’s actually eerily similar. The same thing happened to me, at the same time. 2 week period (I’m always regular. Always), very brown at first and not red until the end. Weird cravings and metal mouth, etc. I haven’t taken any tests though…. because I was positive that you bleed less or not at all when pregnant, not MORE and LONGER. Right?
Amanda says...
I had my period about 2 weeks before my wedding. It has been a week and a half now since I believe I conceived, and the past 3 days I have been extremely dizzy. First if I stood up or turned my head I would feel spinning in my head. Late in the second day, it worsened to the point where the dizziness made me feel like I might throw up. Today is my third day, my doctor gave me a prescription for Diclectin and it helps a lot but when the medication wears off I feel so dizzy just sitting still. Other than this I feel perfectly healthy, and I have this intuition that I am pregnant. I had taken a home pregnancy test but it came back negative (too early?) and now I am waiting for the results of a blood test which should tell me if I am pregnant.
Becka says...
Hello, I just recently stopped my bcp about 2 weeks ago and I have already ovulated and now I am very nauseated and my breasts are swollen and I am going to the bathroom often. My period isn’t until a couple of weeks from now. Could I be pregnant?
Nique says...
Hi I am wondering if I could be pregnant….I had unprotected sex with my bf on the last day of my period and again 8 days after my period ended, each time he came in me. I have been feeling tired and lightheaded as well as a little spotting with a little cramping this week. Could this be signs that I am pregnant??

Amanda says...
Hi..I am 2 weeks late. I have also taken 2 HPT and they both have come back negative, but i have a lot of pregnancy symptoms, such as dizziness, bloated, gas, headaches, i spotted a few days before my period was suppose to start, and have been having a really hard time falling asleep at night even though i an exhausted. Could I still be pregnant even though I got 2 negatives???
Vanessa says...

Krisette says...
I had my period 12 days early last month and this month it’s 11 dyas late so far. what’s odd is that i have some symptoms but a lot of pregnancy symptoms can also be the same as menstrual. i have been discharging small amounts of a white liquid – nothing major…confusing even though this will be my fourth pregnancy!

Last sex was 13 days ago. Last 2 days I almost gag right before I eat and the nausea stays with me for hours. My breast aren’t sore, but my nipples are. Had a light discharge for a couple of days. I have had 2 random crying spells. If Im not pregnant I need to figure out what is wrong w/me!! Meanwhile by fiance is eating full meals back to back and he’s not a big eater. *sigh* My period is due on Christmas. Im just anxious to find out.

hadizah says...
i had a preterm delivery at 25weeks of pregnancy and the baby died.i have seen my first menstruation after delivery on 8 Dec,2008 and expect to see the next on 3 Jan 2009 because i used to have a regular circle of 26 days.
i am dizzy and unnecessary hungry and mild dislike of some smells.
i had a home pregnancy test and the result was negative though it is a little early.Could it be because am hoping to get pregnant again soonest to do away with the trauma of the last episode and to have a child of my own which i dont have and am 33years.

April says...
I am 26 years old, I am on the birth control Yaz.I have already had a period on the 10th and ended on jan 15. I have had cramping since Sunday Jan 18,09 also I am very tired, very hungry and noticed tonight (jan, 22,09) that I had some spotting. So my question is does anyone think I am pregnant? I just recently went to the doctor for my annual exam and she did not say anything. Please give me advice on what to do. Thanks
J says...
My first pregnancy I had no morning sickness, my breasts hurt, my nipples changed color, but I had headaches everyday for the first 3 months. Some days the headaches were light, I had 2 days where I couldn’t get out of bed they were so bad. I had backpain throughout the whole pregnancy.
J says...
It’s 6 years later since my first child. I was on the birth control pill for a few years. Since August I have seen my period go from 3-5 days down to 2 down to 1 then in November I had nothing. My boyfriend and I were already talking about having a baby. I went off the pill in early December and as of yet I have not got my period. However I have done a pregnancy test and it is positive. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to have any more kids because my period hasnt been showing for the past few months. Again I have had no morning sickness, no headaches this time, sore back though, gas, and I’m very tired. At work I find myself dozing off for a few minutes around 130-200pm because I cannot keep my eyes open. I have not told anyone I am pregnant yet because we have no idea of the conception date. My doctors appt is in 1 week.
kc says...
heyy
my lower abdomen is very hard when i am standing up, but when i lay down it’s still firm, but not rock hard. my nipples don’t look darker but they are sore to the touch. i have headaches almost every morning, but they seem to go away throughout the day. my lower legs are more stiff & swollen than usual. the smell of certain foods “ex. tuna, chicken” makes me feel like i am going to vomit. i have heartburn more than i ever have before. i had a regular period for a week, then about 4 days later i had another period 2 days was very light pink, and a day or 2 was dark brown.. since then i have had no bleeding, but am not due for another couple days. is it likely that i could be pregant ? or does it sound like another kind of problem i should see a doctor about ?
Lynn says...
My period is 3 weeks late, and I’ve been feeling severe nausea for about a month now. My period never really comes on time, but it never takes anymore than 2 weeks. I always feel naucious before I start my period so I really didn’t think much of it this month. But for the past 3 days I’ve felt really dizzy, and I’ve had a horrible head ache. My backs been killing me for the past 2 weeks and has finally gotten to the point where I can’t even bend down. I have no sore breasts, and I’ve taken a HPT every week since my period was due, all came back negative. Im worried because some people don’t get a positive until they’re 2 months pregnant.I’ve lost 15lbs in the past few weeks! yet I dont look it at all. All the foods I used to eat a lot make me naucious, and Im extremely tired all the time. Everything I drink seems to go right through me within minutes.
Also, my shoulders are sore even to the touch. Is there something else other than pregnancy that I could have?
Danielle says...

HELP PLEASE says...
I think I’m going crazy here, but is it possible to have a few signs of pregnancy 5 days after having unprotected sex?
I (physically) FEEL 80% sure that I am pregnant.
I have mild cramping and lower back pains, a bit of highten sense of smell, and a little nausea. I also have had a very light flow of blood. Although, this is not regular period blood…it goes from a dark sticky brown to a darker sticky red. It’s not even enough to wear a tampon. Only a small pantyliner all day & night.
If anyone has advice or information, please share.
CC says...
Hey Azz…..my last period was on the 6th Feb and Ive been TTC, my periods are really irregular however I knew when I was ovulating on the 19th Feb, anyway day 35 and still no perid and I gave pains in my left ovary which only starts up every lunch time…Ive been to the doc and Im booked in for an ultrasound next week….after reading 101 things on the internet apparently this is totally normal in early pregnancy, so I am hoping I am pregnant…today I feel super tired and a bit dizzy….anyway its a relief to read other people are getting this pains in their ovaries….maybe it is just normal!!!

I’m 16 and I haven’t been feeling myself since around January that was the last to
E that I had sex and I got my period in January but after that until yesterday I didn’t get my period. I did some research and realized that I’m having some symptoms that may cause to be being pregnant like backache, headache, swollen boobs, im always tired, certain smells make me want to throw up, and lower stomach cramps. THe strange thing is that I got my period like a regular period but I still “feel pregnant” is it possible that I still am pregnant.

Hello i’m 19 and at uni, I need help i had unprotected sex on tuesday twice, and took the pill but I have bad backache and really fell tired.
Please help
JaCara says...
idk when this happened i just started feelinglike going to the bathroom all the time, and wanting only bread like foods or pasta. i felt sick to my stomach but have never thrown up. i just started getting pain n my back i think i’m sleeping wrong. The one thing i’m not understanding is i had a normal period for me which are very umpredictable. then i thought i had one but it was rele light but all mine are. but i had a “so called period” around the 17 of march and now its april 7, and its a normal period heavier than the last. but as unpredictable as they might be there always 1month apart or coupl days longer than that. never ten days.
AMP says...
i have my period at the end of the month usually the 21-25 or so. I am not on birth control and my boyfriend and i do not use any contriceptives. We had sex last week like 3 times which was about a week after my period. Within a week ive been having hot flashes, acne (which i never get) and today my breasts became unusually sore. They are always sore before my period… but its way too soon. I know my body well. And lately i could cry at the drop of a dime and i just feel tired and down.
How much longer should i wait to take a test … seeing that im not even due to start for another 3 weeks??
Does this sound like i could be prego? I would love feedback!
thank you

i had my first depo shot 14 weeks ago. my fiance and i have been having unprotected sex since the day after i got it. i was scheduled to go get my second shot about a week and a half ago but i missed the appt because of work (i run a restaurant). we started using a condom about 3 days ago. But for almost a month I have been feeling out of whack. i am always tired, no matter how much sleep i get i am constantly tired. im scared to drive late at night or early in the morning because i am afraid of falling asleep. then (much to my fiance’s dismay) my nipples started to ache really bad. i couldnt wear a bra for 3 days! my back hurts too, i cry at everything. these are all classic signs that i am pregnant but i took a pregnancy test 2 nights ago and it came back negative. Does anyone know what i should do???

lost says...
Ive been feeling a bit abnormal lately, I noticed some weight gain which is Odd for me because its almost impossible for me to gain weight, Whenever i have sex, in any way shape or form it hurts and i always spot afterwards this is rather unusual for me. ive been having cramps similar to mentrual cramps for about 2 weeks and after sex they get MUCH worse to the point that i can barely move. I last had my period on april, 24th ish i dont really remember is it possible im pregnant or could it be something else?
gloom_cookie says...
Hi. I started using the NuvaRing the 1st of this month. About a week before I started BC, I had unprotected sex but took Plan B 2 days later. I’ve had unprotected sex while on BC a number of times with my bf. My breasts are sore, heavy, and a cup size bigger. This is what happened with my first pregnancy. I’m urinating more than usual (again, same with first pregnancy). I’ve looked up breast tenderness and growth while on BC, but with NuvaRing, doesn’t seem so likely to happen. Do you think it’s just the BC or think I could be pregnant??
confused says...
I saw my period on April 30th . On May 16th I experience some spotting.Took pregnacy test ,reaveals positive.
I went to doctor on May 18th .he says he notice a gestational sac but no fetus.
I need some expalation . does that means i am just too early or?
Jessica says...
I moved to France last week to start a new job. In the last few days I have been very tired, nauseated, have a headache that won’t go away and it hurts when I pee. I also had cystitis last week and my mom once told me in our family that was the first sign of pregnancy. Is this normal. Also, my period isn’t due until next week, so how do I tell if I am pregnant?
Diah says...

wendi says...
my last period was June 22, 2009, i think. my husband and i had unprotected sex on 07/04/09 and 07/06/09. by my calculations, i was ovulating during that time. my next period should be around 07/21/09. i hope i am pregnant. we had a miscarriage back in 2006 and have just now decided to start trying again. i have been having headaches, backaches and woke up dizzy this morning. am i pregnant
Momma2be? says...
Hi my last period was may 11th and it is now july 14th. i tok three pts and they all came out neg. i also went to the doctor yesterday and they took a urin test and it also came out neg. so when i asked them to so a blood test or maby a ultra sound they said i didnt need one.
I called one of your representatives and she said i was probbaly pregnant. but that i should probably go to a different doctor. (I will)
So my maine question is this.
for the past few days i have been having these weird cramps. they are in my lower tummy and when my doctor pressed on it it felt very uncomfortable (but didnt hurt). all of my symptoms have consisted of peeing every 20 to 30 mins. sore breasts, VERY moody, no peroid, fatigue, head aches.
I know you guys cant five me a 100% answer but i would appreciate your thoughts. I need to know what this could be if not pregnancy. thank you for all your help.
toyan says...
i’m worried
i had my last period on the 25 of may. took a pregnancy test on the 26 of June it said negative
am i really pregnant. i have a slight discomfort in my lover abdomen. hell
newmamaj says...
How many times I was in your shoes and I think a part of me WANTED to be pregnant so badly I made myself feel all the symptoms.. Last Wednesday i took a test because my period was late by a day or two – I’ve had NO pregnancy symptoms and it was positive!! Then I proceeded to take 2 more tests and both positive as well..
My advice to everyone is don’t freak out about maybe being pregnant.. It will only cause your “symptoms” to worsen.. If your tests say no leave it at that especially if you’ ve had a period.. I’ve had every symptom in the book and never any of those times was I preggers.. The female mind is a funny thing huh?

mother of one please read! says...
I am a 23 year old mother of a 12 month old little girl.
I quit breastfeeding her four or five months ago, due to my milk supply drying up.
several days ago I noticed that I had breast milk in both breasts again and don’t understand why.
i have been sexually active unprotected for a-while now but I also have irregular periods so its hard to wait for a missed one.
I have had faint pain in my abdomen on both sides where my ovaries are at and back pain and need to know is it possible that I am pregnant? and can a secondpregnancy trigger this sudden supply of milk again?
Nikkibd says...
Well!
This is certainly not how I’ve planned my life for the moment, but it turns out I’m pregnant at only 18! I took a home test and it said positive then I went to the doctor to have another test. That one came back negative but I took another home test today and it’s positive. So I’m pretty certain I am pregnant because the one at the doctor was later in the day and I had drank lots of liquids.
Well, I’ve been having headaches and feeling a lot more tired. I’ve missed my period this month and have been having ultra weird cravings and aversions.
Ella says...
I foud out was pregnant with my second about a week ago and I am so excited!!! It didn’t take us long to get pregnant, it only took a month so we’re among the lucky ones considering I will also be 34 in a month. The first thing I noticed before I missed my period were swollen achy breasts and the area around the nipples didn’t get darker (surprise!), it actually started to have more proeminent white little bumps which gradually became a little larger after I missed my period. Other than that, some backache, no headaches, no morning sickness so far, just a little tired all the time. I suspect I am maybe around three weeks pregnant, I will be sure after I have my first prenatal appointment. Oh, and I didn’t have any implantation bleeding, which is fine, most women don’t. I’ve been also craving salty food lateley, especially pickles and peanuts.

RE: Unknown
You should NOT be having sex at 16! Obviously you should not want a kid at this time and quite frankly you should not be blessed with one (kids can’t raise kids) . Sex was intended for marriage, not with boyfriends…You should be concentrating on school right now. Some people may not agree with me, but they are usually the ones who are engaged in or are engaging in pre- marital sex (and to me, there opinion doesn’t matter!)

Teri says...
My breasts have been tender for 4 weeks now & they have been tender since my last period. I’m tired all the time and i am starting to feel light headed more often. Ive always had slight back pain so im unsure what to do. ive done a test and it came back negative.
would it be better to go to the doctors or wait to see if i get my period. i am scared to talk to my partner about it as i know he doesnt want to have kids. so im not sure if im stressed thinking i might be, thats why i have theses issues
Shannon says...
Hi, im 19 and have been off the pill for about 2 months now, had sex about 6 weeks ago with my boyfriend my period is 12 days late.. have been feeling extremely nauscious dizzy at times when im driving, and bright lights seem to effect me..my breasts are swollen and tender, im extremely scared way too scared to take a home pregnancy test, i just dont want to face the truth but eventually i will. Really concerned that maybe its something hormonal going on with the pill or is it pregnancy possibly?
Ashley says...

Annelize says...
I had a natural miscarriage on 29.07.2009 and am trying to conceive again since October. I ovulated on 13.10.2009 and 1 week after that my breasts became noticely larger, tender and sensitive. My menstruation is 5 days late and I have menstrual like cramps but no spotting or bleeding. Can I be pregnant? I am to afraid to test so early because of the miscarriage (was 5 weeks pregnant) but I am realy exited.
