It would take less time to pee on a stick than type this question.
Symptoms are different for all women. There is no set timeline.
Pregnancy tests are cheap and easy to use. Pregnancy is detectable pretty early on.
Go check and post to let us know.
Have you taken a test? That should be the first thing you do.
I usually know within two weeks of conception, if I’m pregnant. I have the same symptoms every time.
Not to say you’re not pregnant, but some of the symptoms you describe are not typically indicative of early pregnancy:
-Weird food cravings typically emerge more in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
-Excessive urination usually comes about as the fetus grows and shifts your internal organs, smooshing the bladder. Usually in the 2nd-3rd trimester.
The food aversion is a maybe. If your boobs are constantly sore, that would be another maybe. Those early symptoms usually emerge within a few weeks of conception…or later.
Wait until your period is due, then take a pregnancy test if Aunt Flo’s out to lunch. That’s the only way to know.
I knew at six weeks. Same symptoms, miserable morning (translation…all day long sickness) and a headache that wouldn’t end. By 8 weeks, a spike in my blood pressure. Same things, each time.
It’s easier to take a test, like the others have said, if you aren’t sure. Good luck.
I should have known at 3 weeks I was preggers, I actually had impantation pains! They’re not all that common, but I had a constant pinging on my right side for nearly 24 hrs. that I couldn’t explain…until the doctor explained it for me two weeks later!
If you go to Target, you can get a 3 pack of pregnancy tests for $9.99! Last time, I started getting sick a week after I found out I was pregnant. I’m sure it’s different for all.
As other people have already said, it’s different for everyone. Take a test as soon as you can, or go to the doctor’s and they can do a blood test (no having to wait for your first missed period that way).
