Answer 1

Missing your period is the biggest clue.

Here are other clues and other explanations. If you WANT to be pregnant, you often see signs that aren't related to pregnancy as directly proof that you are pregnant. Until you miss that period, wait about a week, and take a HPT--you will not know 100%.

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.

Answer 2

I started to show my pregnancy signs a week after conception. It was awful. My breasts were sore, I was extremely tired, I started to pee a lot more, I was really thirsty, I vomited (things started to make me sick like smells of my husband cooking, my toothpaste, and Mt Dew (which I used to absolutely love)), and I felt nauscious 24/7. When my period was supposed to come, I still experienced the normal cramps like I always do, but then it didn't come.

I also started showing around 9 weeks. You can't really tell from the front, but you can definitely tell from the side, especially now. But, I'm a small frame and small people tend to show earlier.

I also started to crave apples, which I still eat non stop.

But, the signs are different for everyone cuz some of my friends never even experienced morning sickness or knew that they were pregnant for months.

Answer 3

sometimes some people don't even notice that there pregnate and wind up at the ER room for severe stomach pains and end up going home with a child! but other than not having your periods for 9 months could also be a big factor of finding out if your preggo or not as well!

Answer 4

Sometimes your food preferences change drastically. Something you used to love makes you want to barf, and vice versa. Another indicator is fatigue, and sometimes unexplained weight loss. Breast pain, too. Sometimes you just know - after all, your body is being flooded with hormones.

On the other hand, there have been women who had no idea they were pregnant until the baby was actually born! They thought they just had a really bad stomach ache. (They were quite a bit overweight to begin with, which hid the "bump.")

Answer 6

Everyone is different. Like I am almost 2 months preg. and I have no signs or anything. But some things are swollen brests, having to pee more, and things like that. Just take a test if you are.
