Answer 1

You may be turn out to be pregnant or you may not, but if your period isn't due for another 8 days it would mean you only conceived less than a week ago, so any symptoms you are expereincing would not be caused by pregnancy just yet. It is unlikely that the embryo would have even implanted yet.

When women are hoping to be pregnant or fearful of being pregnant it's amazing what they will suddenly notice in their bodies, because they become hyper aware of everything and pin it on a pregnancy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but about 80% of women who report pregnancy symptoms within days of apparently conceiving actually turn out not to be pregnant.

Thigs like darker nipples won't actually happen until you are at least 8 weeks and even then, the change will be minimal util the pregnancy is far more advanced. Lower back pain is more associated with PMS than pregnancy, and is not a symptom of early pregnancy. Swollen breasts again are possibly PMS, the thick white discharge is pretty normal (cervical mucus - extra discharge as a result or pregnancy only kicks in when the progesterone levels go sky high in the 4th or 5th week and the discrage is milky/lotiony, not thick), and being bloated and gassy could mean pretty much anything at all. It's not a typical symptom of early pregnancy.

"Symptoms" at this point could mean anything.

Please, just try and give your body a chance to do it's thing and not get too stressed out trying to look for symptoms just yet - it's too early. The most obvious sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Proper pregnancy symptoms like nausea etc don't usually kick in until about 4 weeks after conception when the hormone levels start to rise sharply.

i was on birth control pills and i had my period for the first 5 months of my pregnancy and every urine test i took came out negative it wasnt until i took a blood test that i found out i was pregnant..so here is a list of the top 10 earliest signs of pregnancy!!

10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner.

Answer 3

You could be describing symptoms of pregnancy...or PMS...or that you're getting the flu.

Too early to tell - but good luck!

Answer 4

Wait 8 days and take a test if AF doesn't arrive

Answer 5

the only person who can tell you for sure if your pregnent is the doctor. So either wait until your period is late or go see a dr. otherwise you will just keep wondering and worrying.

Answer 6

You can experience new and more intense PMS any time, and for any reason, it doesnt mean you're pregnant.

Wait until you're late and take a test.
