Are there any signs that can determine the onset of pregnancy before the delay of menstruation and before it shows a test, ultrasound or a gynecologist diagnoses?

Yes, some sensations may signal that fertilization has occurred, but two things need to be understood. First, none of the symptoms, or even several in total, will replace an accurate diagnosis, which can only give an examination by a gynecologist . Secondly, a woman can provoke or guess a number of signs by listening to herself in anticipation of them. Therefore, all of the following can only serve as indirect symptoms and a reason to see a doctor earlier.

How quickly can signs of pregnancy appear?

Of course, not a day, two or three after conception. Everything is individual, because it happens that a woman for several months does not even suspect that she is pregnant.

However, often a woman notices unusual sensations in a few weeks after conception - even before the delay of menstruation.

• 6-12 days from conception - the time of fixation of the fertilized egg in the uterus. This moment can be marked by insignificant abdominal cramps, or a small spot of blood on the underwear - this is the so-called implantation bleeding, which occurs in more than a third of women.
• 7 days and beyond. Fatigue, drowsiness - quite common companions of pregnant women, which can be minutes in a few weeks, and can stay until the second trimester and longer.
• 7-14 days from the moment of fertilization. Changes in the mammary glands, increasing their sensitivity, increasing size. However, such signs may indicate the approach of critical days.
• 14 days after conception and beyond. From this day until the 8th week of pregnancy, many people experience morning sickness: some have a slight and completely disappears soon after waking up, and some are annoyed during the day, accompanied by vomiting.

Also, already in the first days of pregnancy, taste and olfactory sensations can clearly manifest themselves: an unbearable desire to eat a certain product or, conversely, aversion to a food and / or its aroma.

Other signs to look out for

With delayed menstruation, everything is clear, but within the cycle, even fluctuations of seven days are normal, and it is not surprising if the delay increases against stress, when a woman constantly listens to herself in an attempt to understand whether she is pregnant. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to other, later, signs of pregnancy:

• The mood changes abruptly and completely unpredictably.
• Not typical discharge from the genital tract, discomfort
• Taste of metal in the mouth.
• Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, other problems with the gastrointestinal tract of unknown origin.
• Active salivation during or independently of food.
• Swelling of the face and extremities.
• Darkened areolas of the nipples.
• Abdominal pigmentation, especially around the navel.
• Various changes in libido.
• Menstrual pain.
• Signs of cystitis
• High levels of hCG in the blood, which allows you to diagnose pregnancy in 10-14 days after conception

Less often there is discomfort in a sitting position, the sudden development of an allergic reaction, even if no such manifestations have occurred before.

If there is reason to believe that the gestation period has reached 5-6 weeks, frequent urination should be noted. However, it can occur at an earlier date, especially at night.

In addition, the story continues with altered taste preferences and keen sense of smell, to the point that once-favorite foods and smells may become hated, and those that you did not like before, on the contrary, attract.

Anxious symptoms - ectopic pregnancy

In the early stages of development of the fertilized egg, which is fixed outside the uterus (in the fallopian tube, ovary, abdomen), dangerous signals are constant aching pain in the lower abdomen, which eventually becomes acute (it increases with certain body positions), weakness, pale skin, increased sweating, tachycardia, fever, dizziness, a significant and sharp drop in blood pressure. Of particular concern should be the release of brown or brown (smeared, or dark abundant).

In case of any of these symptoms, you should immediately go to the hospital, because delays and untimely medical care (in such cases, surgery is always performed) can lead to severe internal bleeding and even death.

If a woman is pregnant - what to do?

Contact an obstetrician-gynecologist, who will diagnose and answer the question of what changes in health are associated in your case. Even if you are not pregnant, a number of the above symptoms require the advice of an experienced specialist, among whom the gynecologist must be the first in the list of doctors you visit.
