Any woman wants to know for sure whether conception has come, because with the onset of pregnancy, it is very important to thoroughly review and, if necessary, change everything that has become a habit. A pregnant woman needs to be more careful about her health, stop taking all sorts of troubles to heart, limit the intake of medications, stop drinking alcohol and unhealthy foods, etc. Below are the main indicators by which one can conclude about a successful conception.
Instructions
Step 1
Monitor your body temperature. In the early stages of pregnancy, it usually rises. But there are exceptions, therefore, for greater confidence, you should pay attention to the basal temperature (in the rectum), which is always elevated in a pregnant woman! In order to obtain reliable results, the basal temperature is measured in the morning, without getting out of bed (before the measurement, you need to be in a horizontal position for at least 6 hours). The thermometer is inserted into the rectum to a depth of about 5 cm and is not removed for 10 minutes. After conception, the basal temperature does not drop below 37 degrees.
Step 2
Pay attention to your physical sensations. For example, the perception of food. Disgust for a particular product may appear. Toxicosis is often one of the first signs of pregnancy (nausea, vomiting). But few people know that toxicosis is also fatigue and frequent headaches.
Step 3
Do not disregard vaginal discharge. After the onset of conception, their number increases sharply. They are usually non-itchy and odorless. It happens that a little mucus of a bloody nature comes out, which a woman takes for menstruation. This discharge can be either brownish or yellowish.
Step 4
"Listen" to the sensations in the uterus, as the occasional tingling sensation in the uterus is an excellent indicator of conception. This usually lasts for the first two weeks after pregnancy.
Step 5
Pay attention to the condition of your breasts. After conception occurs, painful sensations arise in the area of the mammary glands (thus they are prepared for feeding). A couple of weeks after conception, breast swelling and darkening of the areola (areola) are observed.
Step 6
Get tested for hCG, a hormone that appears in a woman's body in early pregnancy. Although you can just buy a regular pregnancy test, it gives a result based on the hCG content in the urine.
