There are possible signs of pregnancy and then there are proof positives. Some women experience symptoms right away and others don't have many at all for a long time. Basically, this is how it works. 14 days after the first day of your last period if you have 28 day cycles - there is a 3 day window of prime opportunity to become pregnant. If you had sex on or near those days and you noticed that little bit of white ovulation discharge - and you had sex at that time - there is a higher likelihood of a pregnancy occuring. The ph in the vagina naturally kills sperm, so when that ovulation discharge comes out - it protects sperm coming in so that they can survive and make it to the egg. When the egg is fertilized and then implants your body begins to produce HCG - pregnancy hormone. The level of hormone doubles every few days. You can begin to experience some symptoms right away - or you could just be having gas, fibroids or a myriad of other things that can cause pregnancy like symptoms. Some home pregnancy tests boast and early result and I've found that you can get false negatives and false positives. The proof positive is the HPT - I recommend having a doctor do one for you to ensure the correct result. But, wait until at least 2 weeks after your missed period or you could get a false negative because you're hormones are not high enough yet. If you have no idea how you timed this - then get to your doctor and have them do a blood test 2 weeks after your missed period if you've had one. Most women tend to start getting some lightheadedness and nausea right away. Tenderness in the breast is the most common first sign. Some women are totally pregnant and have little to no signs other than the hpt. If you think you're pregnant - see your doctor - you want to make sure it's not ectopic, blighted ovum or other gynecological issue requiring a doctor's assistance. There's nothing worse than the shock of thinking you might be pregnant - not knowing and ending up with a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy because you had to run to the ER in pain. Proof positive for pregnancy is really the ultrasound - they can usually detect a heartbeat at about 5-6 weeks gestation.

I had asked the same question a week ago. The answers I got all agreed that after 2 weeks at least, except a lady who said that she felt her pregnancies since the 2nd day. It might have been in her head because she wanted to get pregnant though. It happened to me: I had nausea, etc, a few days after I had sex, until I took a test and found out I was not pregnant!

For most people, at about 5 weeks you will begin to have nausea, tender breasts, fatigue etc. Keep in mind that 5 weeks pg really means only 3 weeks since you have conceived.

Some women NEVER get any symptoms other than a + on a pregnancy test. So I would not use that as a sign that you are pregnant or not....
