I had the exact same symptoms as PMS except my breasts were ALOT more tender. Other than that...it was just a feeling. If you go and buy a FIRST RESPONSE pregnancy test, it can tell you up to a week before your missed period. It IS the most sensitve test on the market.
Everyone is different, by the way, and aside from a positive test, there's really no universal symptom that will tip you off. Every pregnancy and every person is different.
Good Luck! :)

A big sign is missing your period. Other possible causes of missing your period are travel, fatigue, stress, illness, extreme weight gain or loss, going off the pill and breastfeeding.
Morning sickness is also another biggie. It usually occurs 2-8 weeks after conception. I started feeling slight waves of nausea around the time my period was due, obvioously it didn't arrive because I'm 13 weeks pregnant! Other possible causes of nausea are food poisioning, emotional stress and a variety of illnesses.
Frequent urination is another sign some women have. It usually rears its ugly head as early as 2-3 weeks after conception. Other possible causes are urinary tract infection, stress or diabetes.
Tingling, tender and swollen breasts is a very common pregnancy symptom. It can occur as early as a few days after conception, I know that was the case for my two pregnancies! Other possible causes are birth control pills and impending menstruation.
Another sign is darkening of the aerola (area around the nipple) and elevation of the tiny glands around the nipple. This usually happens later in the first trimester, although I noticed it around the same time I got a positive pregnancy test, when my period was due. Other possible causes of this are hormonal imbalances or the effect of a prior pregnancy.
A big sign for me was blue and pink lines under skin and later on abdomen. For me, I found that my breasts were the first to look like a road map with blue veins, about 5 days after conception. After that my thighs, hands and feet started to show veins as well. Later on, purple veins appeared under my armpits, on my eyelids and on my cheeks - I have very light skin. This usually occurs later on in the first trimester. Other possible causes are hormone imbalance or the effect of a prior pregnancy.
Food cravings can drive pregnant women insane! They usually appear in the first trimester. Other possible causes include poor diet, stress and impending menstruation.
A big sign for me, was tiredness. I used to almost be an insomniac, and about a week and a half after conception, I struggled to keep my eyes open past 8.00pm.
I also started to have 'grumpy pregnant lady' mood swings!
A pregnancy and trying to conceive forum that I think you might find interesting. It's full of supportive women who have boundless knowledge about these issues. I have learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise. Hope you join up!

The symptoms for pregnancy are very similar to the symptoms women feel when they are about to start their period. The only sure way to know that you are pregnant is to get a positive test.
