When dreaming of a baby, do you want to recognize your pregnancy as early as possible? To do this early, you need to know the first signs of pregnancy. Some of them appear very early. A woman will be able to notice them on her own, without the help of doctors.
Instructions
Step 1
The main and first sign of pregnancy is the absence of menstruation. But keep in mind that a two- or three-day delay can happen without pregnancy, even with a regular cycle. Some diseases (infectious, etc.) can contribute to this. Climate change, heavy physical activity, overwork, stress, unhealthy diet, taking vitamin preparations, etc. can also affect the cycle. Disrupts the menstrual cycle and drastic weight loss. A woman who wants to lose weight who has reached a weight of 45-47 kg may experience a long delay in menstruation.
Step 2
You can more accurately predict the onset of pregnancy if you notice some more symptoms with the absence of menstruation. For example: an aversion to certain foods, which has appeared recently, or - an attachment to any food, lack of appetite, nausea and vomiting in the morning (sometimes during the day), a change in smell (aversion to some odors), profuse salivation. Be aware that the symptoms of the onset of pregnancy can be: a feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating, heartburn, constipation, frequent urination, breast enlargement, increased nipple sensitivity. As a rule, from the very beginning of pregnancy, there is a very strong desire to sleep more than usual.
Step 3
Another simple method is the temperature method. Without getting out of bed, in the morning, measure the temperature in the rectum. It fluctuates throughout the different phases of the menstrual cycle. In the first (follicular) phase, the basal temperature usually does not exceed 37.0 degrees. It drops sharply (by 0, 1-0, 2 degrees) about a day before ovulation. After - there is an increase of 0, 2-0, 5 degrees. Further, the temperature is kept at the same level until the onset of the next menstruation. If it does not subside even on the 16-20th day after the delay of menstruation, pregnancy can be assumed.
Step 4
A blood test for the hCG hormone will help diagnose pregnancy. This can be done as early as 6-8 days after conception. At home, use a rapid test based on determining the level of human chorionic gonadotropin. It is sold in every pharmacy. Keep in mind that the level of this hormone in the urine required to diagnose pregnancy is reached a few days later.
Step 5
If you are still in doubt, contact a specialist who will conduct a gynecological examination, prescribe an ultrasound scan (ultrasound). It can be carried out as early as 3-4 weeks after the onset of the delay in menstruation. This is the most accurate method for determining pregnancy.
