Pregnancy symptoms soon after conception?

hang in there! i know exactly how you’re feeling.

from everything i’ve read, early pregnancy symptoms don’t show up until about two-three weeks after conception at the earliest. implantation alone can take up to a week because it takes time for the little fertilized bit to travel in your body and end up in the uterus, and unless that occurs, your body wouldn’t be producing enough hcg for it to recognize you’re pregnant and start displaying symptoms.

its unfortunate that pg symptoms are so similar to pms… makes things very confusing and when you really want a baby, its all one big mind f**k, you know? ugh.

what i have noticed though is that i get a lot of pg-like symptoms right after i ovulate, like on the next day. my bbs get very sore and swollen, i have mild nausea, i’m bloated, aches and pains etc.
turns out its all part of your body prepping up for a possible pregnancy, and progesterone dominates your system which causes water retention and your hormones being all over the map. i also usually get very emo right before and right after ovulation.

do you know when you ovulated?

having said all of that, anything is possible! i’d say what you already know- hold on until you miss your period and then test. and if you can’t wait, you can also test up to 4 days sooner with the hpt’s these days- first response is supposed to be better than the clear blue ones. good luck! i hope you are pregnant! in the meantime, eat healthy, start taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid, and try not to stress!

I dont usually feel like this though…when i ovulate or before PMs…and I know these next 2 weeks will go sooo slow now
