EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS





Although a lot of women experience pregnancy symptoms, and find signs of being pregnant, other's don't ';feel'; pregnant. Certain signs and symptoms of being pregnant can be confused with other illnesses. The following list are some telltale symptoms of pregnancy. Morning sickness is one of the most common signs of being pregnant, but you also might be one of the lucky ones who never experience this pregnancy symptom. Missing a period is another sign and symptom of being pregnant. We'll go into greater detail below, and you can read below.





MISSING A PERIOD





One of the most common signs and symptoms of being pregnant, missing a period can also be caused by other reasons. Although missing a period is one of the most common of the pregnancy symptoms, stress, illness, weight fluctuations or coming off the oral contraceptive pill can also be the cause of this. Irregular periods are a common symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition in which periods can occur several months apart. If you still feel like you are experiencing other pregnancy symptoms, continue reading the other signs of being pregnant.





TENDERNESS OF THE BREAST





Another sign and symptom of pregnancy is the changing of size and feel of your breast. As early as a few days after conception, this pregnancy symptom may occur. Your breast is beginning to enlarge, as it gets ready for breastfeeding. Many women claim that their breasts are very sensitive and that they experience a very sharp, tingling sensation as well. Being one of the signs and symptoms of being pregnant, the tenderness of the breast often disappears a few weeks later.





NAUSEA AND VOMITING





Considered another one of the classic sign and symptoms of being pregnant, nausea and vomiting, (aka morning sickness) has become one of the most feared of all pregnancy symptoms. Feeling sick is a common complaint and is experienced by most women from weeks 5 to 6 of their pregnancy. However, morning sickness can also be felt as early as two weeks after conception. Morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, and can vary from an occasional faint sensation to overwhelming vomiting and nausea. By and large, morning sickness is one of the pregnancy symptoms that tends to disappear towards the end of the first trimester.





TIREDNESS





Many women experience fatigue as one of their pregnancy symptoms. Although this might be a sign of being pregnant, it can also indicate other things as well.





DARKENING OF THE AREOLA





Being one of the first physical symptoms of pregnancy, the darkening of the areola can occur throughout your entire pregnancy. If you notice the darkening of the areola, this could be considered one of the signs and symptoms of being pregnant.





FREQUENT URINATIONIs it possible to get pregnant on birth control?
Yes, you can get pregnant even though you are on birth control. You have a very low chance of getting pregnant if you have taken all your pills at the right times. You should try wearing a condom that way you have double the protection.


First signs of pregnancy include:


Morning sickness


Light Cramps


You may expierence spotting which is also known as implanation


Fatigue (tiredness)


Sore/ swollen breasts


Late period





There are a few other symptoms those are just the main ones..





You can buy a home pregnancy test and I think it will pick it up at about 4-6 weeks? I am not exactly sure on that one.





Goodluck!
it is very possible to get pregnant while on birth control,nothing is 100% safe,especially the pill. so many things can stop the pill from working effectively. having the flu can interfer with it. thats why most doctors will reccomend the pill not be used as a main form of birth control.


early pregnancy signs are the same as pms,cramping,spotting,headaches,are signs of both. what you can do is get a test done at your local doctors and that will tell you if your pregnant or not. or you can wait about 3 weeks after you had sex and take a home pregnancy test.


if your not ready to have a baby yet, you should use two forms of birth control,just to be safe.
you can get pregnant while on birth control...


if a person is on birth control for a long time their bodies become immune to it and they need to have their precriptions uped a doseage... i had a friend this happened to...but if u are having ur period i dont think your getting pregnant... birth control will cause your period to be extremely light and only last a day or two... and nausea, headaches, and mood swings are all symptoms of birth control... talk to your doctor about it.. maybe you need a new birth control medicine
Yep, both my mother and i fell pregnant on b/c..normally it takes around 14 days after conception for a pregnancy test to show positive..symptoms being tired, sore boobs, nausea, cramps, mood swings and heaps of other stuff..
Yessss of course
