Common Early Pregnancy Symptoms When trying to conceive(TTC), many women experience early symptoms of pregnancy. For those women who are in the 2 week wait period, that is, after ovulation and before your next period is due, and are wondering if they are pregnant, here are some early signs of pregnancy or early pregnancy symptoms. You might experience all, one, or none of these pregnancy symptoms in your pregnancy's very early stages. If you want 100% confirmation that you are pregnant, you will have to wait until you have missed your period and then take a pregnancy test. Implantation Cramping Some women experience implantation cramping 6 to 14 days after ovulation. This cramping can feel much like early period pain, but it comes before your period is due. For other women, they feel a slight tugging below their belly button which might last an hour or go on for a few days. It is thought that the cramping or tugging feeling is from the fertilized egg beginning to burrow into the side of the womb, causing some women to feel a sensation of cramping or tugging. Some women do not experience any cramping at all, but have a positive pregnancy test once they have missed their period. It is easy to confuse implantation cramping and the cramping that comes with your period, so it is best to wait for a positive pregnancy test before jumping to conclusions. Know about pregnancy symptoms. Implantation Bleeding Implantation bleeding is thought to be caused by the fertilized egg attaching to the side of the womb and disturbing the pockets of blood in the endometrial lining. Some women might have a single spot of blood between day 6 and day 14, while others have what feels like a very light period just before or during the time their period is due. Some women do not report any implantation bleeding, but miss their periods and then have a positive pregnancy test result. Bloating Some women report bloating in the first few weeks of pregnancy. When you are pregnant, digestion slows down and causes some women to have more wind and gas. This bloating does not affect all pregnant women, and sometimes can be confused for the bloating that happens just before a period is due. Metallic taste in the mouth A metallic taste in the mouth is a common pregnancy symptom that often does not start until further into the first three months of pregnancy.

It is important that if you think you might be pregnant that you take a pregnancy test once you have missed your period. This will confirm if you are pregnant or not.
