Notice if there is an increase in appetite or taste changes. The body in a state of pregnancy is able to demand the micronutrients it lacks, so there is often a desire to eat something special.
Step 2
A few days after possible conception, pay attention to the breasts. The mammary glands prepare for lactation with the onset of pregnancy, so you will be able to notice the breast thickening and some increase in size. The nipples may darken and the nipples may become more sensitive.

In the first trimester, toxicosis can become a clear sign of pregnancy. The body's response to a change in hormonal levels is manifested in nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. Therefore, feeling unwell can be a sign of pregnancy.

Pay attention to the emotional changes. If you become irritable or your mood often changes, this also indicates hormonal changes in the body. For the same reason, you may notice causeless anxiety and excitement.

Get a pelvic exam. An experienced specialist is able to determine pregnancy at a short time by changes in the external genitals and cervix. In any case, consultation with a gynecologist is necessary, even if there is no pregnancy.
