Answer 1

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.

I'm highly irregular, I never panic, my boyfriend, who understands nothing about my cycle, panics if I'm a day late (and yes, we use birth control) Perhaps the bottom line is that women who panic are just that unfamiliar with their body.

It could be fear of pregnancy or illness. When you get a regular period and it doesn't show up when it should women get nervous and scared. The female body is a complex physical device. A missed period could be a number of things depending on the woman medical history.

Answer 4

I do not know but I hate my period. I get excited when my period comes late--- I get hopes that it won't come at all. When I get under 108 lbs, I lose my period. Which is a good thing because that means I am getting underweight!!!
