That two-week wait can feel like an eternity! If you're actively trying to conceive (or even just suspect you might be), you're probably hyper-aware of every little twinge and sensation. While a missed period is the most obvious sign, many women experience subtle changes much earlier.
So, what are the early signs of pregnancy you should be looking for? Breast tenderness and increased sensitivity are common, often accompanied by fatigue. Nausea, sometimes called "morning sickness" (though it can strike at any time!), can also appear early on. Other potential clues include frequent urination, changes in food cravings or aversions, and mild spotting or cramping (implantation bleeding).
It's important to remember that these symptoms can also be caused by other factors, like stress or hormonal fluctuations. The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test. But being aware of these early signs can help you tune into your body and prepare for the possibility of a new chapter! Consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis and further guidance.
