am i pregnant?

Question

what are some signs that indicate im pregnant?

Answer 1

Obviously, a skipped period is a good indication. Other symptions can include (per Mayoclinic.com):

Tender, swollen breasts
Your breasts may provide one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. As early as two weeks after conception, hormonal changes may make your breasts tender, tingly or sore. Or your breasts may feel fuller and heavier.

Fatigue
Fatigue also ranks high among early symptoms of pregnancy. During early pregnancy, levels of the hormone progesterone soar. In high enough doses, progesterone can put you to sleep. At the same time, lower blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure and increased blood production may team up to sap your energy.

Slight bleeding or cramping
For some women, a small amount of spotting or vaginal bleeding is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. Known as implantation bleeding, it happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus — about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. This type of bleeding is usually a bit earlier, spottier and lighter in color than a normal period and doesn't last as long.

Some women also experience abdominal cramping early in pregnancy. These cramps are similar to menstrual cramps.

Nausea with or without vomiting
Morning sickness, which can strike at any time of the day or night, is one of the classic symptoms of pregnancy. For some women, the queasiness begins as early as two weeks after conception.

Nausea seems to stem at least in part from rapidly rising levels of estrogen, which causes the stomach to empty more slowly. Pregnant women also have a heightened sense of smell, so various odors — such as foods cooking, perfume or cigarette smoke — may cause waves of nausea in early pregnancy.

Food aversions or cravings
When you're pregnant, you might find yourself turning up your nose at certain foods, such as coffee or fried foods. Food cravings are common, too. Like most other symptoms of pregnancy, these food preferences can be chalked up to hormonal changes — especially in the first trimester, when hormone changes are the most dramatic.

Headaches
Early in pregnancy, increased blood circulation caused by hormonal changes may trigger frequent, mild headaches.

Constipation
Constipation is another common early symptom of pregnancy. An increase in progesterone causes food to pass more slowly through the intestines — which can lead to constipation.

Mood swings
The flood of hormones in your body in early pregnancy can make you unusually emotional and weepy. Mood swings are also common, especially in the first trimester.

Faintness and dizziness
As your blood vessels dilate and your blood pressure drops, you may feel lightheaded or dizzy. Early in pregnancy, faintness may also be triggered by low blood sugar.

Raised basal body temperature
Your basal body temperature is your oral temperature when you first wake up in the morning. This temperature increases slightly soon after ovulation and remains at that level until your next period. If you've been charting your basal body temperature to determine when you ovulate, its continued elevation for more than two weeks may mean you're pregnant.

Also, my hips always hurt like somone was pushing their thumbs outwards. Your hips spread when you become pregnant, but I don't know anyone else who felt this.

Answer 2

sore breasts....obviously missed period or irregular period because somewomen continue to have LIGHT bleeding or spotting during their 1st trimester....food cravings...
Here is a list of what you can expect:
Morning sickness, normally starts between week two and week eight after conception. For me it was not only in the morning but really all day.
Breasts and nipples becomes larger and can be very sore and the area around the nipples, the Aureole, becomes darker.
You will probably need to go more often to the bathroom, this is very normal and can happen even in the first week of your pregnancy.
I felt very tired the first three months and very hungry. Craving food at all times of the day (and night) was the order of the day.

but ultimatly wait until at least 1 wk after ur missed or irregular period and test yourself!
