Unfortunately, pregnancy cannot be detected immediately after conception. Therefore, before the test gives a positive result (as a rule, not earlier than seven days from the moment of the expected day of conception), one has to rely only on the signals of one's own body. It is important to remember that all women are individual in their own way and the symptoms of pregnancy manifest themselves in different ways. Gynecologists identify common symptoms for each woman, which may be prerequisites for a developing pregnancy.

If at least one of these symptoms is present, each individually or all in the aggregate, pregnancy can be assumed. To exclude or confirm its presence, you need to conduct a pregnancy test yourself (it can be purchased at any modern pharmacy) and be sure to visit a gynecologist. In the antenatal clinic, you will be offered to undergo several types of examinations.
