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 can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 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 can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

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; they may be 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 throughout 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, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Personally, I was always hungry, got bad skin and sore breasts, but everyone is different- some will have symptoms completely the opposite from mine, or none at all. If you're worried and feel like you need to know now, there are home pregnancy tests available that claim to tell you this early, but they're far from accurate. Take a deep breath and try to put it out of your mind for a couple of weeks. If you still haven't had you're period, go to a Doctor and find out for sure.

My first sign was cramping with no period. Looking back, there were other signs, but that was the first one I took notice of.

I had noticed that my bowels were moving very often. There was a heavy feeling in my bladder area. I was peeing a little more often. I was tired. But these were not even very noticable, except for the bowels. This one is rare. Most women have an opposite response. Lucky me, my bowels still move regularly, and I'm 20 weeks.

The first thing I noticed, even before I missed my period, was my boobs growing. I must have grown a cup size before I found out I was pregnant. You may also have to pee more, feel sick to your stomach, even in the afternoon(I'm not quite sure why they call it morning sickness) There are tests you can take that can measure the HcG in your system even now, so you might want to give one of those a try. If the answer is no, Then go get on birth control.

Try buying a pregnancy testing kit or does that require too much thought.

Shaking, nausea, sleep, pain at your brests, big appetite, not have a period for a long time (unless you are a teen 12-18{irregular period}), a bit of cramps... That's what I know!

Exhaustion, breast tenderness, and mild nausea are common early signs of pregnancy.

Every women is different. But I would think its morning sickness, feeling drowsy, eating more.
