In order to understand in more detail, consider the main signs in the first days of conception, which may indicate the onset of pregnancy.
The first signs of an interesting situation
After conception, the fertilized egg starts moving towards the uterus on the very first day to begin development. This time is not yet pregnancy and is about 5-10 days.
The main early sign before a missed period is an increase in body temperature
During this period of time, it is very difficult for the expectant mother to diagnose any sensations in herself, since the egg takes the first steps towards the pregnancy itself.
After the egg has firmly settled in the uterus, the process of formation of the umbilical cord and placenta begins - this moment can be safely called the true onset of an "interesting situation".
In the first days when the implantation of the embryo occurred, after conception, pregnancy symptoms such as:
- swelling, soreness of the breast;
- pulling pain in the lower abdomen;
- early toxicosis;
- minor discharge;
- the temperature rises;
- fatigue;
- minor discomfort.
Now let's take a closer look at some of the symptoms.
- Immediately after conception, swelling and soreness of the breasts appear - these are the first symptoms of hypersensitivity of the mammary glands. A barely noticeable touch can become painful. In the early stages, colostrum may begin to stand out from the nipples.
- Painful heaviness in the pelvis - there may be slight discomfort, there may be sensations of fullness of the uterus. For the body of every woman at such an early date, sensitivity to a new position manifests itself very individually.
- Early toxicosis - the expectant mother already feels unwell, nausea, she may not like food that seemed tasty before pregnancy, taste preferences may change. There may be an exacerbated reaction to familiar and new odors.
- Discharge - you can find a slight discharge of a brown, reddish or yellow hue, they appear in the first days of conception, and pass through the day. This indicates that the embryo has attached to the uterus.
But it is also important to know that such a sign may indicate a possible threat of interruption of the "interesting situation" if the discharge is plentiful and accompanied by pain. In this case, an urgent appeal to a specialist is necessary. - Violation of the temperature regime - in the first days, the body temperature can drop sharply, and then rise until the placenta begins its active work after conception. The first three weeks, an elevated body temperature of up to 37 degrees can be considered the norm. Such a jump is due to the release of a large amount of estrogen during pregnancy, which leads to a decrease in temperature, and then the release of progesterone, which leads to an increase in body temperature.
- Fatigue and malaise - the reason for this is reduced immunity, fever, general weakness. So the woman's body reacts to the embryo as something foreign, and tries to fight it. According to statistics, this period of malaise lasts the first 2 months, then with greater production of estrogen, the condition of the expectant mother returns to normal.
Each week is characterized by growth and the next stage
Early baby development
Although pregnancy did not officially occur from the first days of conception, these days are the most significant and make a huge contribution to the development of a new life. The child begins to form internal organs, nervous, respiratory, digestive systems. What happens in the first days with the embryo after conception - we will consider it step by step.
- After the zygote is formed, the development of the unborn child begins. From the first day of conception, a fertilized egg begins to make a difficult path to a source of nutrition, where it can fully develop. The ovum makes its way through the fallopian tubes, moving with the help of villi located on the inner surface of the fallopian tubes.
- On the second day, the egg is still moving towards its target, the process is accompanied by continuous cell division at a very intense pace.
- On the third day, the number of cells reaches 9.
- By the fourth day, the fertilized egg takes on the shape of a berry, similar to a blackberry. The egg is still moving towards the uterus. It is from this day that all vital systems, as well as the internal organs of the unborn baby, begin to form through embryogenesis.
- With a continuous process of cell division, cells - blastomeres - begin to form inside the fetal membrane. Their enzymes play the role of dissolving the uterine lining, helping the embryo adhere firmly to the uterine wall. On the fifth day, the fetal egg enters the uterus, is fixed there by launching its fibers into the endometrium, merging with tissues and blood vessels. Increases the level of the hCG hormone.
- On the sixth, seventh day, the level of progesterone in the expectant mother rises, the body temperature rises. The child continues its continuous intrauterine development, but still feeding only on its own resources.
- By the eighth, ninth day, the neural tube begins to form in the fetus, the placenta develops, which will be transformed for the next twelve weeks.
Complete reunification of the embryo with the uterus occurs on the fifth day within forty hours. The strongest connection between the body of the mother and the unborn child occurs on the twelfth day, when the baby begins to fully receive placental nutrition.
Possible dangers of the first days
The most crucial period throughout pregnancy is the first trimester - it is he who needs to be given special attention in order to prevent unwanted risks.
In the early days of conception, the main dangers are:
- risk of miscarriage;
- frozen pregnancy;
- improper development of the embryo;
- ectopic pregnancy.
The following pathologies can provoke these risks.
- Cold.
- SARS.
- Infectious diseases, sexually transmitted.
- Alcohol, smoking.
- Discharge from the vagina, accompanied by pain.
- Severe pain in the pelvis.
- Stress.
- Physical activity, trauma.
HCG - the "hormone of pregnancy" appears in the blood of absolutely all expectant mothers
Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself in advance and be extremely sensitive in the very first days of pregnancy.
To prevent threats, in the first days after conception, you should walk a lot in the fresh air, avoid overheating, hypothermia, stress, eat right, and follow a healthy lifestyle.
How to find out about the "interesting situation" in the early stages?
It is extremely difficult to determine an “interesting position” in short periods - only a week after conception. In the first days after conception, you can listen to internal sensations.
Consider the main ways to check pregnancy:
Method for determining conception | Description |
Pregnancy test | The probability that this method will show the correct answer is high on the fifth day - then there is a sharp release of the hCG hormone. It is important to understand that from the first day of conception, using a pregnancy test, you can hardly see a second strip on it - the hCG level is still low, which will not give an accurate diagnosis. |
Laboratory study (blood test for hCG hormone) | With the help of an analysis for the content of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood, it is possible to more confidently diagnose the presence or absence of an “interesting situation”. |
Examination by a gynecologist | When the uterus prepares to receive the embryo, it enlarges and swells. The cervix acquires a bluish tint, becomes loose, moist. This method of determination is valid for 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. |
Ovulation | First you need to determine the possible days of conception from the menstruation calendar. To determine the starting point for a possible day, subtract 18 days from the shortest menstrual cycle. To determine the end of your fertile period, subtract 12 days from your longest period. This interval will be the most favorable for conception. |
Possible individual sensations
Toxicosis can occur a week after conception, and after a few weeks
Every pregnancy is different for different women. Finding out if pregnancy is present on the first day after conception is almost impossible. But you can listen to your inner feelings and intuition.
- There are such rare cases when, due to their high sensitivity, some expectant mothers can observe signs of conception of an embryo even in the first days. They seem to feel the presence of a baby inside themselves, so they are firmly convinced of this.
- Not everyone has symptoms such as nausea, nervousness, apathy - they may not be at all throughout the entire period. In the early days, they also cannot unambiguously indicate the reliability of conception.
- If, nevertheless, the symptoms manifest themselves in a far from favorable way: severe pain, prolonged discharge with blood, then you should immediately consult a doctor - this can threaten the unborn baby.
After how many days do the first signs of pregnancy appear, if you count from the date of unprotected intercourse? If we talk about the most reliable sign, then in about 2 weeks. It is after such a period that a delay in menstruation usually begins if a woman becomes pregnant. However, by this time there may already be other first signs of pregnancy, we will talk about them.
1. Soreness and increase in milk women. This is a fairly typical symptom for women who are not familiar with the manifestations of mastopathy - when the mammary glands begin to hurt in the second half of the menstrual cycle. Some future mothers say that during pregnancy, especially in its early stages, the nipples became more sensitive. It made it painful to even touch them. As for the appearance of colostrum (a sticky whitish liquid) from the nipples, this symptom is more typical for the second half of pregnancy. That is, in the first weeks it is rarely diagnosed.
2. Abundant mucous and watery discharge without smell from the vagina. Does not cause itching and discomfort. Provided there are no gynecological diseases.
3. Toxicosis. The first signs of pregnancy before the delay appear 10 days after intercourse, this is at least. By this time, the egg is usually already implanted in the wall of the uterus, which means that hormonal changes in the body begin. Although more often toxicosis manifests itself by the second month of pregnancy. Toxicosis can include not only such unpleasant phenomena as nausea and vomiting, but also drowsiness, weakness, low blood pressure, etc.
4. Increase in body temperature up to 37.5 in the absence of signs of any disease. At the beginning of pregnancy, there is often a slight violation of thermoregulation. It goes away on its own without any treatment. You can alleviate your condition by maintaining the optimum temperature in the room, regularly airing it.
5. Pain in the lower abdomen. Since the time when the first signs of pregnancy appear, usually coincides with the period of the onset of delayed menstruation, few people pay attention to these pains. After all, most women before menstruation already have a stomach ache. But during pregnancy, it is also a symptom of a threatened miscarriage.
6. Slight bloody or spotting, brown discharge around day 20 of the menstrual cycle. These discharges may be a sign of implantation of the egg in the uterine wall.
These are the first likely symptoms of pregnancy. It will be more reliable not to trust your feelings, but to do an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and (or) take a blood test for hCG (you can also do a home test after the start of the delay) for an accurate diagnosis of pregnancy.

To give birth to a healthy child, it is important for the expectant mother to know how long it takes from conception to the onset of symptoms in order to rebuild her body to lead a healthy lifestyle. You can recognize the first signs of pregnancy after conception after 5 days with the help of various symptoms that manifest themselves differently in all women.
The onset of pregnancy
Many women want to know about pregnancy even before they can take a test. Therefore, they are interested in how much time should elapse from the moment of conception to the appearance of the first symptoms.
As a rule, pregnancy occurs 14-16 days after the start of the last menstruation - this period falls on the ovulation of the egg.
It is possible to determine the conception of a child in a few days or weeks, but it all depends on the woman's body, which undergoes various changes that affect the appearance of certain signs. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others may occur only when the child begins to move in the womb.
Signs of pregnancy immediately after conception
Expectant mothers, eagerly awaiting the birth of a baby, want to know how many days pregnancy can be recognized. It is believed that the first signs may occur as early as five days after the fertilization of the egg.
Colorless vaginal discharge
They accompany a woman throughout the entire period of pregnancy, appear immediately after conception. They are characterized by a homogeneous consistency, no smell (if the discharge is streaked with blood, greenish-yellow in color, curdled, then they can be a sign of a disease).
Increasing the sensitivity of the breast
In this state, the breast often occurs before menstruation, however, during conception, painful sensations appear, especially in the nipples. In addition, there is a feeling of swelling of the breast, which increases in size, the nipples darken a little, and the halos become more blurry.
Frequent urination
It is associated with an increase in the concentration of female hormones and blood flow to the pelvic organs.
Frequent urination occurs at night and, unlike cystitis, does not cause pain, while the amount of urine excreted can be different.
Depression and general malaise
These signs often go unnoticed. The mother-to-be may decide that she is getting sick or simply overtired at work. However, if nervousness, fatigue and drowsiness, headache, slight temperature and mood swings appear, this may indicate that pregnancy has occurred.
Also, early symptoms of conceiving a child include excessive sensitivity to smells, new eating habits, increased salivation, sleep disturbance, or slight swelling of the fingers.
Signs of conception after 7 days
If in the first days pregnancy is difficult enough to recognize, then the signs that appear in the first two weeks make it possible to more accurately determine it. However, among them there are those that can be the cause of any disease. Therefore, only a gynecologist can make an accurate diagnosis. What are the signs after the first week of conception?
By 7-10 days, a woman may notice the following symptoms.
Smearing brown discharge
This is implantation bleeding, reminiscent of the beginning or end of menstruation. It occurs due to the penetration of a fertilized egg into the uterine wall. In this case, the vessels are damaged, the blood from which flows through the vagina. Such discharge is usually mild and lasts no more than two days. However, with prolonged and heavy bleeding, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist, as there is a threat of miscarriage of the child.
Ovulation usually occurs on the 14-16th day of the cycle and at the same time pain may appear, which most likely indicates that pregnancy has occurred. However, such pain is not normal and may be a symptom of a threatened miscarriage of the child.
Nausea and vomiting
One of the most obvious signs of pregnancy, the cause of which is the production of hormones such as hCG, prolactin and progesterone in the body. The duration of toxicosis depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.
Often, severe nausea (vomiting) is experienced by women who have problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
Weight change
When pregnancy occurs, the hormonal background changes in the body of the expectant mother, due to which a woman can either lose weight dramatically or gain weight.
Signs of conception after 14 days
In the first two weeks, it is not always possible to determine pregnancy, the signs may be poorly pronounced or indicate an onset of the disease.
You can most accurately understand whether pregnancy has occurred or not, two weeks after ovulation, when the following symptoms appear.
Delayed menstruation
If a woman has regular periods, then their absence most likely indicates the conception of a child. You can check this with the help of a test that is done from the first day of the delay.
Increase in basal body temperature
Cycling women often measure basal temperature, which is caused by changes in the level of progesterone in the blood. Before conception, the basal temperature will be within the normal range, that is, no more than 37 degrees, after fertilization it will increase and become above 37 degrees.
Methods for determining pregnancy
Many of these signs a woman may not notice. This is usually due to the fact that she does not expect pregnancy, writes off her symptoms as a disease, or she has irregular periods. In this case, you can determine the conception of a child using the following methods:
Thus, when pregnancy occurs, signs may appear that help to know about the conception of a child. The first signs appear after 5 days. They are manifested in the general malaise of a woman. Within a week, new symptoms appear associated with the appearance of discharge, nausea, pulling pains in the lower abdomen. Two weeks later, signs such as a delay in menstruation and an increase in basal temperature speak of the onset of pregnancy. However, an accurate diagnosis can be determined by a pregnancy test, an hCG test, a gynecologist, or an ultrasound.
Every woman is simply obliged to know the signs of pregnancy in the first days after conception. This is important, because then you can give up some bad habits in time, change plans - for example, do not drink alcohol at a festive feast or start going to bed early so that the body has the strength to cope with future changes.
Physiological features of the course of pregnancy in the first two weeks
The onset of this condition is possible only during ovulation, which normally occurs approximately on the 14th day after the onset of menstruation. During ovulation, the egg begins to slowly move towards the uterus, during this movement, and fertilization occurs. After that, the egg continues to move through the fallopian tube, and after about 7 days, the embryo is fixed on the wall of the uterus. From this moment, the development of pregnancy begins - the stage is called embryonic.
How to accurately determine the onset of pregnancy
There are three reliable ways to identify the accomplished conception. Deciding which one to use depends on the urgency and importance of the information.
Gynecologist visit
The doctor will conduct a gynecological examination, as a result of which, according to the change in the condition of the uterus and cervix, he will tell his opinion. The earliest time when a doctor can determine pregnancy in this way is 7-10 days after fertilization, when the embryo is already fixed on the wall of the uterus.
Perhaps the most reliable method. The terms are the same - 7-10 days after conception.
test strip
It is also a very accurate method, but you need to be able to use it correctly. The time when the test strip will give the correct result is approximately 14 days after fertilization.
The test strip reacts to the presence of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood - it is produced by the placenta.
The concentration of the hormone in the blood begins to increase after the embryo is fixed in the uterus and reaches the concentration necessary for the reaction after about 14 days.
If you do a test earlier, it will not show the presence of pregnancy due to too low a hormone concentration. Therefore, it is important to repeat the test every 2 days for a week. The fact is that in the first days the content of hCG increases very quickly - every two days its concentration doubles. It is possible to determine the conception that has occurred no earlier than two weeks after fertilization.
Symptothermal method
The reliability of this method is very high, and with the help of it, a woman can already tell on the second day whether she is pregnant or not. The method is based on daily monitoring of the state of your reproductive system.
Every day, readings of basal temperature, the state of the mucous membrane of the cervix are taken. The data is entered into a special chart.
The method allows diagnosing any changes in the reproductive system with great accuracy. For example, you can know with 100% accuracy that today is the day of ovulation. To use this technique correctly, you must first undergo special training, and then practice daily self-monitoring.
From the foregoing, it is necessary to remember: until the egg is fixed in the uterus, it is impossible to determine the onset of pregnancy in the first three ways. And it is pointless to use a test strip earlier than 14 days after the intended conception.
The main signs in the first few days after fertilization
If there is no urgency, then, by observing your body, you can guess about it yourself already for a period of 7-14 days, when the test strip will still be “silent”. Consider what symptoms of pregnancy in the early days may be, depending on the characteristics of the woman's body.
Breast changes
The mammary glands swell, become tight, you can feel fullness and tingling in the chest. In this way, the breast can also react to ordinary menstruation, but, firstly, when pregnancy occurs, these manifestations are much brighter, and secondly, they occur earlier than the expected date of the next menstruation.
Drowsiness, dizziness, throws it into heat, then into cold
All these are eloquent signs that a change in the hormonal background in the body has begun. This restructuring begins from about 10-14 days of pregnancy and usually lasts 2-3 months. These symptoms disappear within a week, when the body adapts to the process of restructuring. This adaptation is different for everyone.
You may not feel all of the listed symptoms at all, and do not pay attention to the resulting drowsiness within 3-4 days.
Change in the appearance of the abdomen
When the egg is fixed, the uterus reacts by lifting up a little. Outwardly, this can be seen from the tubercle on the abdomen, which becomes higher. They say, "the stomach has risen." This subtle change can be observed as early as 8-10 days after the intended conception and usually only in thin women.
Delayed menstruation
If the cycle of menstruation is normal, that is, approximately 28 days, then the next menstruation comes 14 days after ovulation. And in the event of conception during ovulation, after 14 days there is a lack of menstruation.
Small spotting
Occur 7-10 days after fertilization. This feature is rare. Such discharge occurs due to ruptures of blood vessels at the site of attachment of the embryo to the wall of the uterus. 1-2 days continue.
Usually they occur immediately 1-2 days before menstruation. And in the case of pregnancy, they can appear at the “wrong” time. They do not last long and usually do not bother much. If there is an assumption that conception has occurred, and it is known on what day, then it remains to be patient and wait a week, and then strengthen self-monitoring.
If there is drowsiness and nothing else, you should not think that there is a pregnancy. To draw conclusions, it is necessary to note the presence of several signs or, conversely, their absence. Especially if this is the first time and there is no personal experience yet.
How is pregnancy in the first weeks
So, the pregnancy did come. What changes are taking place in the body now, and what conditions can we expect?
Weight change
Normally, the weight should now gradually increase every week. This indicator is necessarily monitored by a gynecologist when a pregnant woman is registered in a antenatal clinic.
Weight should not grow too fast, but it should not stand still either. In practice, everything happens, even its reduction.
This may be due to a heavy load at work or at home, as well as stress, lack of sleep and malnutrition.
These are signs of toxicosis of the first trimester. Not everyone has toxicosis, and the exact causes of this condition are still unknown.
Frequent urination
This symptom appears twice during the entire period: in the first trimester and in the second, only the causes are different. In the first trimester, the cause of frequent urination is a sharp rush of blood to the pelvic organs, as a result of which the kidneys switch to a different mode of operation for a while. Usually this symptom manifests itself in 1-3 weeks.
Light vaginal discharge
This is cervical discharge, they are the norm. During the entire period of bearing a child, the discharge changes its color and consistency.
The uterus continues to grow
Every week, the gynecologist records the rise of the uterine fundus. This is one way to monitor the development of pregnancy.
This happens gradually during the first trimester. The pressure drops from the normal 120/70 to about 100/60, but this figure is very individual.
This happens because the volume of blood in the circulatory system of a pregnant woman increases by 1.5 times.
Constipation, accumulation of gases in the intestines
This unpleasant symptom occurs due to weak intestinal motility against the background of a changed hormonal background during the period of bearing a child. The fact is that one of the main hormones at this time is progesterone, which has a relaxing effect on smooth muscles, which is primarily necessary to maintain the uterus in a relaxed state.
The action of progesterone also affects the intestines, worsening its peristalsis. To prevent constipation, it is important to adjust the diet.
