How early can pregnancy signs show up? I heard anywhere from a week...But then also I heard not until a month. Also is a little bit of craming on your side a sign of pregnancy?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

i'm due to deliver in 4 days. When I actually found out I was pregnant, I was about 5 weeks, and by that time I was having symptoms such as sore breasts, really sensitive nipples, running to the toilet every half hour to urinate, and extreme exhaustion and tiredness even though I hadn't done hardly anything physical. To answer your question about the cramping in one side, I recall that happening to me when I was only about 1 - 2 weeks after I conceived, but I only know what it was now, I had no idea at the time that it might have been because I was pregnant.

Hope that helps a bit.

So Many Questions....where Are the Answers?
I have a similar problem. My hubby and I have been trying, I had a blood test a month ago. My cycle has been 14 days (which is not normal but the doctor told me he wanted to wait a few months before he did anything for that.) I am on day 19 now, no period, my last cycle was really light more like spotting for 6 days. I am going to the bathroom more than once an hour, my stomach has been really sensitive (i can't stand any pressure on it and it seems bigger), my bms have been light, I have noticed more cervical fluid (which I don't track so it is different that I notice), I have noticed more spider veins on my legs, and I have been really tired but restless. I feel like I have been nesting, cleaning and getting stuff fixed around the house. I have a pg test, but I am scared to take it. We want a baby so badly, it would be our first. I am thinking about taking one in the morning, but I am wandering if my cycle is just regulating or if I am just crazy. What do you all think?

It's really hard to say how early signs may come up. Some women pay really close attention to everything their body does or may experience more pronounced symptoms so that they know early on. Other women may not know their own bodies too well, or just have low sensitivity to pregnancy related hormones and not know til weeks later.

One thing that is a drag is that sometimes a hefty bout with pms can act alot like pregnancy symptoms too. I certainly know of women (and have personally experienced the same) having pregnancy symptoms as early as 4-5 days after when they ovulated (and had recent intercourse), but that doesn't happen for everyone.

You can take a pregnancy test too early and get a negative when you actually are pregnant, so i'd suggest holding off on testing for a while and observing your body signals.


It's one of those "it varies" things.


One symptom I rarely see talked about is hard to describe, but ime unmistakeable. Basically it's a feeling of cramping like your period is going to start, and a sensation of flow "down there" so much that you think your period is starting, but when you go check it's just clear fluid. What's key about this is generally following ovulation, your cervical fluid is supposed to be generally dry. Of course this doesn't happen for everyone, but it does happen.

After Intercourse On the Correct Time
After ovulation occur what kind of discharge you will have if you have intercourse in the correct time...I know that if we have a yellow kind of cloudy discharge mean that the egg is died and we will not get pregnant on that month..Is that true...I wonder what kind of discharge we will experience after intercourse on the ovulation time itself or one day early...Please help

No, not true. You can't tell anything by the type of discharge. Everybody is different.

I Feel U On That!
In august my better half and I did the do for 4 days straight. On the 3rd day, my bb's began feeling sore. As of now, I have blue veins across my chest (not across breast), i'm having lower left-side abdominal pains occassionally, when in bed my legs begin to hurt (like cramps), chills every now and then, the smallest drop of shower water on my breast makes me want to scream! My breast are still sore! Here's the thing....I've been on depo for over 4 years, i've been bleeding for 3-months off and on. I've intentionally missed my depo injection (wanting to conceive). Since i've bled for 3-months off and on....Why didn't I get these symptoms then? Since i'm not bleeding now, why have these symptoms occurred?
