Early pregnancy signs before menstruation is delayed (in the first week)

Girls who want to know the joy of motherhood as soon as possible seek to listen more attentively to the signals of your body to notice signs of pregnancy in the early stages before delay menstruation. A delay in menstruation is not the only symptom by which a lady can assume her interesting position, it can be the result of hormonal disruption or inflammatory processes in the small pelvis. But if the critical days do not come on time, and a few days before that the woman began to have suspicious signs, it is safe to say that she managed to get pregnant.

Not all the primary symptoms of pregnancy that appear in the early stages before the delay in menstruation can confirm the fact of fertilization.

In many cases, the girl begins to vomit, vomiting and headache appear, she believes that she has finally become pregnant, but this clinical picture turns out to be a sign of food poisoning.

But if several signs coincide at once, especially if several unprotected intercourse on "dangerous" days, there is a possibility that the pregnancy is still came. You can go to the forum on the Internet, read the answers and comments of women who have experienced pregnancy symptoms long before the delay.

Malaise

Among the signs of conception, which appear even before the delay, girls often note a sharp decrease in immunity and a tendency to colds. It is not necessary to really catch a cold - sometimes, against the background of weakness and deterioration in well-being, the lady really thinks that she is sick. This is due to the launching of the restructuring process in the woman's body, thanks to which he is trying to ensure a favorable course of pregnancy.

The metabolic process is undergoing changes, under the influence of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for maintaining gestation, lethargy and drowsiness will appear. The substance has a calming effect on the nervous system, so many pregnant women have a decrease in concentration, they cannot remember important details and recent events.

The symptom will go away on its own by 10-12 weeks after conception.

Many ladies, who are not yet aware of their interesting position, have nasal congestion. If it is accompanied by a flow of viscous mucus from the nostrils, the cause is a cold illness against the background of a sharp decrease in immunity. When there is no snot, but it is still hard to breathe, the cause of the congestion is the increased flow of blood to all organs and systems.

After a few weeks, the swelling of the tissues will pass and nasal breathing will be restored.

Mood swings

Immediately after conception, even strangers may notice that there have been changes in the woman's behavior - she becomes the most emotional, whiny and capricious, it is easy to bring her to tears. This is due to a sharp change in the hormonal background - the endocrine system must prepare the body for the long months of pregnancy.

Changes in the work of the nervous system affect not only the behavior of the expectant mother, but also her well-being, communication with others, the manifestations of this are as follows:

1. Sudden outbursts of irritability, aggression - a girl can flare up over a trifle, yell at someone, after a few minutes get upset, ask for forgiveness and cry.
2. Unwillingness to communicate with others, isolation.
3. Lethargy and apathy, a tendency to depression.
4. Sleep problems - sleep disturbance, nightmares, light, shallow sleep.

After 14-16 weeks, the emotional background of the pregnant woman should stabilize, she will become calmer and more confident in herself, she will begin to lead a normal life.

Early toxicosis

Among the first signs of pregnancy before the delay of menstruation, already in the first week a woman may feel the symptoms of the onset of toxicosis. This is the name of a condition manifested by a complex of signs:

• nausea;
• vomiting;
• weakness and lethargy;
• loss of appetite;
• headaches.

This condition can last up to 12-16 weeks, then it will correct itself. Nausea and vomiting with toxicosis is the result of the intake of substances in the body that are released as a result of the vital activity of the fetus. At first, they are perceived as unusual, foreign, the immune system tries to remove suspicious substances by vomiting.

Nausea can be felt most often in the morning, at the same time the girl can be "turned back" from the usual smells and tastes - tea, coffee, fried meat and fish.

If, against the background of the described signs, food poisoning, diseases of the stomach and intestines were excluded, one can immediately suspect the onset of pregnancy.

Headaches

It has been noticed that many women in the early gestation period noted such a symptom as dizziness, often leading to fainting. This is due to low blood pressure. If a girl had cases of a sharp decrease in pressure even before pregnancy, then during pregnancy the problem may worsen. Flies and dark flies will begin to appear in front of the eyes, especially with a sharp change in body position. It is important to consult a doctor on time if the problem is not resolved in the coming weeks - due to low pressure, insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain and deterioration of fetal nutrition are provoked.

Temperature increase

Often, the fair sex complain that there are 10 more days before the delay in menstruation, and the signs pregnancies are already manifested in the form of temperature jumps - this is how the body reacts to a sharp hormonal restructuring. From the very moment of conception, up to 6-7 weeks, the thermometer marks can rise to 37-37.5 ° C, and this is not a deviation from the norm. Hyperthermia can bother you all the time or manifest itself at certain hours (in the evening or immediately after waking up).

Back pain

The answer to the question of whether the lower back can be pulled at an early date is affirmative, and this symptom manifests itself in most pregnant women. At first, many confuse such pulling sensations in the back with the early onset of menstruation, because in the first critical days, the lower back also hurts. But this sign will accompany the lady for up to 6-7 weeks, until the hormonal background stabilizes. The cause of pain is the production of the hormone relaxin - it allows you to relax the sacral part of the spine and ease the growing load on it.

Sharp pulling back pains, especially against the background of discomfort in the lower abdomen, may indicate an incipient miscarriage. Therefore, with a diagnosed pregnancy, you must immediately consult a doctor.

Also, the condition is associated with an exacerbation of the girl's diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the spinal column.

Bloating

Not many women are aware that digestive problems that appear at the end of the monthly cycle may indicate that fertilization has taken place. Bloating, constipation before the expected period - common flatulence or pregnancy, you should immediately figure it out in order to find the appropriate method to eliminate the problem that will not harm the baby. Many laxatives and bloating medications are contraindicated during gestation, so if a woman is not protected and has an active sex life, it is worth immediately determining whether pregnancy.

Due to constant constipation, the eaten food begins to ferment and rot in the intestines, this is manifested by a rumbling in the stomach, the accumulation and release of fetid gases. Flatulence can bother the lady and against the background of loose stools.

The closer the time comes to the beginning of the expected menstruation, the more pronounced the intestinal symptoms.

Heartburn

Typically, heartburn after eating occurs late in gestation. But for many women, the first week of pregnancy before the delay is also manifested by this symptom - a burning sensation in the esophagus. The body only adapts to the new position, so the stomach presses on the diaphragm, part of the gastric contents is thrown into the esophagus, and heartburn occurs. The symptom is more pronounced in girls who, before pregnancy, suffered from gastritis with high acidity.

Breast tenderness and enlargement

Already 6-7 days after conception, the mammary glands become very sensitive. It happens that it is impossible to touch the breast, and wearing a bra is very uncomfortable. In addition to pain, other changes become noticeable. Small bumps on the nipples become more visible, the areoles become darker, and a few drops of light liquid (colostrum) may come out of the nipples.

The body prepares for the breastfeeding process, so the initial signs from the mammary glands become noticeable already 2-3 days before the delay.

Drawing pains in the lower abdomen

In anticipation of critical days, a situation often arises when the stomach pulls like before the usual menstruation, and later it turns out that the woman has become pregnant. The symptom may be troubling in the early stages of conception - one or two days after the fusion of the sperm with the egg.

Pain is caused by the movement of the fertilized gamete through the fallopian tubes to the uterine cavity. Many girls do not experience obvious discomfort during this period, and some, with a particularly low pain threshold, notice that the lower abdomen is heavy and aching.

Implant bleeding

It often happens that a girl does not notice how her stomach hurts during pregnancy even before the start of the delay, but takes scant smearing vaginal discharge for the early onset of menstruation. This is how implantation bleeding is manifested, accompanying the process of introducing the ovum into the uterine wall. Not all pregnant women are worried about the symptom, and many simply do not notice it.

The endometrium of the uterus in the last stage of the cycle becomes loose and thick - under the influence of progesterone, it prepares to receive a fertilized gamete. A large number of blood vessels are concentrated in the inner layer of the uterus. They are damaged by implantation of the embryo, and a small amount of blood comes out in the form of dark brown smearing secretions.

If the discharge lasts 1-2 days, maximum three, does not smell and is not accompanied by other dangerous signs (sharp pain in the abdomen and back, fever, fainting), there is nothing to worry about.

Clear vaginal discharge

During ovulation, increased production of mucous secretion begins in the cervical canal, which is necessary to facilitate the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity and maintain their viability. Such discharge in appearance resembles a raw egg white - they are viscous, stringy, unclear.

Even with the onset of conception, the mucous secretion continues to stand out, subsequently creating a plug in the cervix, which will protect the genital organ from pathogenic flora entering it.

If there is a viscous translucent discharge from the genital tract against the background of pulling pain in the lower abdomen, one can suspect pregnancy already 5-6 days before the delay.

Increased urge to urinate

Seven to nine days after the fusion of the sperm with the egg, the gamete descends into the uterus and is introduced into the wall of the organ for further growth and development. The implantation process is accompanied by an increased blood flow to the small pelvis, so that nutrients for harmonious development come along with the blood to the fetus.

In this regard, many ladies note a feeling of a full bladder before pregnancy is delayed, and are forced to go to the toilet much more often than before. Usually, the growing uterus begins to press on the bladder at the end of the second or early third trimester of gestation. But already 1 or 2 days before the delay, many girls complain of frequent urination - the uterus, which has increased in size quite a bit, begins to rub the back wall of the bladder. This sensation will pass closer to the third month of gestation.

Changing taste preferences

Often, women suddenly guess about pregnancy, even before the next critical days are absent, when they suddenly begin to want sweet, sour or salty. Many women first try dishes that they had previously categorically refused, precisely at an early gestation period.

Another sign that accompanies a change in eating habits is the appearance of a metallic taste in the mouth. It is caused by a decrease in hemoglobin observed in most pregnant women. Also, the taste of metal can appear due to the exacerbation of the sense of smell and the effect on the perception of the taste of any product.

Reliable signs of pregnancy before the next menstrual period is absent

Since the signs of pregnancy that appear a week before the delay in menstruation in a woman cannot always accurately indicate the fact of conception, it is worth confirming it with reliable methods. The most accurate symptoms of fertilization are:

1. Increased basal temperature. If a lady was preparing for conception, she made a monthly BT schedule, according to the changes in the thermometer, she will understand that pregnancy has come. If after ovulation the thermometer showed a temperature of 36.5-36.8 ° C, at the luteal stage it rises by another 0.2-0.4 ° C, then by the time of the onset of menstruation in 1 day it should drop to 36.7 ° C... When the thermometer readings remain elevated even before the arrival of the expected period, these are harbingers in favor of pregnancy.
2. High levels of hCG in the blood. An analysis for the content of this hormone in plasma already ten days before the delay with a long cycle may show that conception happened, in contrast to tests that need to be dipped in urine (they react to the concentration of hCG in urine from 25-30 mIU / mol). During pregnancy with twins, the content of the hormone in the blood will be twice as high.
3. Features of the structure of the endometrium of the uterus and follicles. If, on the eve of the critical days, the girl guesses by some signs that conception could have occurred and undergo an ultrasound scan, then it will reveal changes in the pelvic organs. During pregnancy, the uterus becomes soft and pliable, the cervix softens, a slight increase in the genital organ is possible on one side - on the one where the embryo was introduced.

You can confirm at home the fact of pregnancy 4 or 5 days before menstruation according to signs and positive test - you need to choose a modern, hypersensitive device that responds to the level of hCG in urine from 10 mIU / mol. An inkjet, digital, or electronic pregnancy test is suitable for pre-delay diagnostics.

Reviews of women

According to women's reviews, the first signs of pregnancy even before the delay were different for everyone, and many of them could hardly be mistaken for early symptoms of conception.

I realized that I was pregnant long before the delay. The monthly cycle is long (35 days), but already on the 20th day I really wanted chocolates, although I usually don't eat them - I just don't like it and stick to a diet. Closer to the delay, I began to feel sick, vomited a couple of times in the morning. Then I already understood for sure that the felt symptoms did not fail, but the long-awaited conception still happened.

I did not have any pregnancy symptoms, I did not feel nausea or dizziness. But a week before menstruation, I noticed an incomprehensible brown discharge of a smearing consistency. I immediately went to see a doctor, thinking that endometriosis was again worried. I passed an examination in a chair and an ultrasound scan, the doctor said that the uterus was enlarged on one side, a corpus luteum was formed and sent for a blood test. The hCG level corresponded to 3 weeks of pregnancy - this is how my interesting situation became clear. And the bleeding was safe, due to the introduction of the fetus into the uterus.

A week before the delay, she began to run to the toilet many times a day. I never had cystitis, so I was on my guard. I remembered that during the first and second pregnancies, I also constantly wanted to be small at the earliest possible date and realized that I had flown. After two weeks of delay, I went for an ultrasound scan, and the doctor reported pregnancy. At first it scared me, but now, after two sons, we have a wonderful girl.

All premature signs of pregnancy, manifested in the first days after conception before the delay in menstruation, are not reliable and may indicate another, sometimes pathological condition. With frequent dizziness, pressure drops, a general deterioration in well-being, nausea and vomiting, you should not be treated at home. It is better not to postpone a visit to the doctor - to confirm the fact of conception or find out the reason that caused the unnatural symptoms.
