If you're unusually tuned into your body, you might begin to suspect that you're pregnant within the first few days of pregnancy. But, most women don't suspect they are pregnant until they miss a period, and a few don't suspect or believe they are pregnant for months after conception.
Here are 5 common signs of early pregnancy. You may experience all, some or none of these symptoms.
1. A Missed Period. Missing your period is the most clear-cut sign of pregnancy. But it is not definitive, as stress or other factors may cause irregular periods.
2. Frequent Trips to the Bathroom. Even before missing a period, most pregnant women report having to go to the bathroom more often. You may even have to get up during the night! This occurs after the embryo has implanted in the uterus and begins producing the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone triggers frequent urination.
3. Fatigue. Utter exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy. Fatigue is a result of high levels of the hormone progesterone.
4. Morning (and Noon and Night!) Sickness. Guess what? That queasy feeling isn't limited to mornings. Most pregnant women who experience morning sickness feel slightly nauseated at other times during the day as well. About half have vomiting, but very few have severe enough morning sickness to develop dehydration and malnutrition.
5. Sore (and Enlarged) Breasts. If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the increase in hormones, the pain will subside.
If you have any of the above symptoms, consider taking a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

Well, I had major morning sickness, and that can be anytime of the day not just mornings. Soreness of your breast, Missed Period is the first thing you would notice though. That is what most women would tell you is look for a missed period, It is sometimes followed by the Sickness, But not all women get morning sickness, and then you'll notice the soreness and you breast will get slighty bigger.

a pregnancy test is the best way because other symptoms, ie; sore breasts, feeling tired, moody etc are all very similar to pre menstrual symptoms.
other than a missed period, and even then its not always pregnancy that causes them, a pregnancy test is the only definate way to find out
good luck

Uh....missed period, "pregnant feeling", frequent urination (should occur about 6 weeks in), morning sickness (should occur almost immediately), weight gain, mood swings, irriability, and if you're still unsure, take a pregancy test. Hope this helps.

If you get sick after drinking a glass or two of orange juice! That's when I knew something was different. The acidity will make you sick within 2 hours! Or you are noticing your clothes suddenly aren't fitting as they normally do.

Nosea, bloated, and after 1 month no period, check the test from your pharmacy. You won't know until a month go by unfortunatly, unless you have a very very bad vomitting mornings - but even then, you have to see.....

You may begin to have signs and symptoms, or your body may start feeling different to you...the only sure way to know is to take a test.
