With the onset of pregnancy, some changes occur in a woman's body, which at first glance may appear insignificant. But if you pay attention to them, you can independently establish the presence of pregnancy.
There are many simple, inexpensive tests available to determine if you are pregnant. But it is proposed to use them no earlier than a couple of weeks after the estimated date of conception, and even then they may show an incorrect result.
Those women for whom this really matters can try to determine whether they are pregnant on their own. They try to track the signs of pregnancy, paying attention to any, even seemingly insignificant, changes in the body.
When the change comes
To begin with, you should try to compare your condition with what it was a week ago. If at first glance no changes are found, it is too early to draw conclusions. Indeed, not everyone feels the primary signs from the very beginning, since in the first week of conception there is no pregnancy as such. It will come in a week or ten days after the egg is fertilized.
After the egg is fertilized, it begins to move through the fallopian tube to the uterus. The egg cell at this time is actively dividing, creates an umbilical cord, a placenta, only a week later, a pea-sized embryo attaches to the uterus. Therefore, the first week of pregnancy, even on an ultrasound scan, it will not be possible to see anything.
The main signs, which cannot be left without attention, will appear only after a couple of weeks. The embryo by this time reaches the uterus and is fixed on the wall. And now, big changes are beginning in the woman's body, which help to adapt to the needs of the child.
