Early signs of pregnancy vary from woman to woman; some may have all the signs in the book and others may have just a few or none. Each pregnancy is different from woman to woman whether it is her first or fourth there may be similarities but no two signs are predictably alike. The early signs of pregnancy vary greatly and may be noted right away at after two weeks of conception. If a woman usually has a regular monthly cycles then misses a period then there a high possibility that she is pregnant. This is one of the cardinal early signs of pregnancy.
A pregnancy test kit can be purchased at the drugstore for a reasonable amount to confirm or deny the early signs of pregnancy. It?s depending on what type of pregnancy test is used; length of time after conception to when it is detectable can vary form test to test. Blood testing is the most reliable and it can detect pregnancy hormones in as little as 48 hours after conception but more costly. Urine testing is inexpensive, this is the most common pregnancy test used, but it cannot detect pregnancy until at least 2-4 weeks after conception, or 1-2 weeks after a missed period.
Among other early signs of pregnancy are nausea which usually takes in the morning (morning sickness), breast tenderness, and fatigue. Many women cannot experience morning sickness and some will have it throughout their entire pregnancy. Two other early signs of pregnancy are frequent urination and increased vaginal secretions. The uterus changes and grows and pressures on the bladder that is why pregnancy women is placed not too far away from a restroom. The increased vaginal secretions are the sign of hormone production and formation of the mucous plug that protect the developing fetus from bacteria and other harmful substances.
The early signs of pregnancy on women cannot be determine or known if monthly cycles of women are irregular or absent it may be very difficult determine if they are pregnant. Certain types of birth control, such as the Pill or Depo-Provera injections may cause periods to be very light or absent. Being aware of the early signs of pregnancy gives a woman more control over the pregnancy whether it is planned or not.
