3 days after conception. After conception, the first day: symptoms of pregnancy and changes in the body

Hello my dear guests! Today we will talk about such a wonderful period in the life of every woman as pregnancy.

I know for myself how difficult it is for the first time to determine whether the long-awaited state has come or not.

I will tell you what the first symptoms of pregnancy are worth paying attention to. Some signs will help determine an interesting position in the early stages.

First of all, let's delve a little into the methods of calculating gestational age. In medicine, it is considered from the first day of the last menstruation.

Most often, the day of delivery by doctors is calculated from him.

In fact, the real life of the fetus is considered from the day of ovulation. It is at this time that the fertilization of the egg occurs.

The first signs of pregnancy can be determined already in the first weeks.

External changes may appear even before the delay.

Consider what external symptoms can occur even before the onset of nausea:

1. Swelling of hands and face. In the early stages, puffiness of the face occurs. Swelling of the hands is noticeable when clenching the fist.
2. Acne may appear due to hormonal changes in the short term. At the same time, this phenomenon also occurs in women who have never had such problems.
3. Bloating. After conception, it begins to slowly perform its function, which provokes the development of constipation. Abdominal pain and bloating can accompany the entire pregnancy.
4. The appearance of venous patterns on the chest, as well as its increase. You may even feel heat in your chest.
5. Pigmentation appears in the area around the nipples.
6. The skin of the face is covered with a blush.
7. A brown line forms on the abdomen that goes down from the navel.

There is also an increase in basal temperature. Changes will definitely be noticed by women who control temperature indicators.

As the hormone progesterone increases, this causes an increase in the amount of secretions.
Since after ovulation always, spotting may appear.

There are violations of the stool, as well as increased taste and smell. In addition, frequent urination, severe fatigue, poor health in the morning, and pain in the lower abdomen may appear.

Main symptoms

Trying to identify the very first symptoms, it is necessary to pay attention to the physiological state and sensations.

If there are any characteristic manifestations, then you need to see a doctor.

In any case, it is worth contacting a specialist to exclude the occurrence of an ectopic or missed pregnancy.

The appearance of irritability

One of the first signs of pregnancy is irritability and nervousness. This may cause problems with controlling their behavior.

There are also strong outbursts of aggression. Unreasonable mood swings and imbalance should alert.

This condition is due to hormonal changes in the body. Even 1 week can be distinguished by such an unpleasant symptom.

I want salty

There is a craving for salty foods. This is the most common method for determining pregnancy. It is worth considering if the food seems unsalted and fresh to you.

Feeling nauseous

Nausea or nausea is considered a clear sign. This phenomenon is called early toxicosis.

In the worst cases, vomiting may occur after each meal. or mild nausea may occur at a specific time interval.

breast swelling

The chest may swell along with the appearance of veins in the mammary glands. This does not always appear at the beginning of pregnancy.

Symptoms may also occur in late pregnancy. At the same time, there are sensations, as if pulling the chest.

Here are some of the changes that can happen to your breasts:

1. Nipples darken, and also become sensitive and tender.
2. The chest starts to hurt.
3. The veins become more visible.
4. Areoles darken and increase in size.
5. Small bumps appear on the areoles.

Delay

Of course, the most definite indication is delay. In this case, there are no menstruation at the set time.

If the pregnancy is confirmed, then there will be no menstruation for 9 months before the birth and about six months after the birth.

More signs

Every woman handles pregnancy differently. For some, after conception, there are no sensations, while for others, the lower abdomen begins to hurt on the first day.
When the embryo moves through the fallopian tube, tingling pains may occur in the side.

On the 2-3 weeks weakness and body temperature may rise. Many confuse these symptoms with the onset of a cold or.
In the first trimester, toxicosis may occur.

It will disappear after three months of pregnancy.
This condition is accompanied by a decrease in the immune system. This is provided by nature itself so that the body cannot reject the fetus, like any other foreign body.

With such hormonal changes, the body becomes very susceptible to various infections.

Change in basal temperature

You can also find out about the conception that has occurred by measuring the basal temperature. During the attachment of the embryo to the uterus, the level of the hormone progesterone decreases.

At the same time, the basal temperature indicator is at the level 36.8-36.9 degrees. This can be seen for 8-10 days after fertilization.

Then the temperature rises again. By such temperature jumps, you can also determine your condition.
With the usual delay in menstruation, which can occur during stress, unrest and hypothermia, the basal temperature graph will not have deviations.

Reliable signs of pregnancy

Now let's talk about how to make sure that a new life has occurred. If you have a delay, then you should also turn to more reliable verification methods that will confirm your condition.

Pregnancy test

The easiest way to determine pregnancy yourself is to take a test. This can be done in any convenient place.

If the delay is small, for example, the first day, then it is better to spend it in the morning. Instructions must be included in the package.

This method responds to the hormone hCG in the urine, which begins to be produced from the first day of conception.

To perform the test, you just need to urinate on the test. The second line indicates pregnancy.

It may even be pale pink.

Blood test for hCG

This method is considered the most reliable. After all, the hCG hormone is produced from the first days of fertilization.

On the 10th day, its indicator is - 25 Mme/ml. With each subsequent day, its indicator will only increase.

According to this value, the doctor determines the stages of embryo development.
To get a more accurate result, you need to follow the following recommendations:

1. The analysis is carried out in the morning and on an empty stomach.
2. It is necessary to exclude on the day of the analysis and physical activity.
3. If you are taking any hormonal drugs, then this should be reported to specialists.
4. The interpretation should be performed by the same laboratory where the analysis was carried out.

ultrasound

In the first month of pregnancy, an ultrasound is performed. It can be done after a week of delay. In this case, the doctor must be very experienced in order to determine the miniature embryo.

It is important that the equipment is in good condition.
A positive diagnosis can also be made by a gynecologist in a antenatal clinic. This is done through inspection.

In an interesting position, the uterus changes, as well as the density and color of the internal organs. Also, the doctor will advise what to do next in such a situation.

It will tell you what to be afraid of in the first trimester and how to protect yourself from a cold.

When to See a Doctor

Do not delay visiting the doctor if you think you are pregnant. At a period of two weeks, you can go to a gynecologist who will confirm the pregnancy, determine the approximate period after conception, as well as the features of the course of pregnancy.

At a period of three weeks, you can accurately determine that the pregnancy is uterine. It is worth knowing that an ectopic pregnancy has the same symptoms as a normal one.

But this condition is very dangerous for a woman, and if you do not see a doctor in time, everything can end very badly.

How pilaf develops in the first month

Before the formation of the embryo, the first week the embryo is in the fallopian tube. After conception, the embryo gradually moves into the uterus for fixation.

At this time, there is already pregnancy, but the embryo has not yet attached to the uterus.

The first month is especially important for the fetus. During this period of time, the fetal egg is fixed to the endometrium and the laying of the main organs occurs.

Most often, the fetal egg is attached to the walls of the uterus on 5th day. On days 7-10, active production of progesterone is performed, which protects against abortion.

After that, within two days, the formation of the neural tube occurs.
The placenta is formed on 15-16 day pregnancy. This process takes place throughout the first trimester.

By the end of the first month, the rudiments of the heart, respiratory system, liver, nervous system, and arms and legs appear in the embryo.

False pregnancy symptoms

It is worth knowing that there are false symptoms of pregnancy. They happen to women who really want to get pregnant but can't.

The reason most often lies in the psycho-emotional mood.

In this case, the following symptoms may appear:

1. Absence of menstruation.
2. Mood swings.
3. Constant fatigue.
4. Flatulence.

Recognizing false symptoms is not so difficult. You can contact a gynecologist, do a test or do an analysis for hCG.

Is pregnancy correct?

All the symptoms characteristic of an interesting position do not necessarily indicate pregnancy.

Some may indicate the onset of a cold or be a harbinger of menstruation. By the way, there are cases when women have their periods.

Signs may also indicate the development of a cyst.
In any case, with such suspicions, you should go to the doctor and do a test.

What signs will help determine the sex of the child

Let's find out if there are symptoms that indicate the specific gender of the child. Most often, such assumptions are based on popular observations, that is, they do not have official confirmation.
Here are some signs that may indicate a possible conception of a boy:

1. Improves the appearance of a woman. The hair becomes thicker and the skin more velvety.
2. The temperature of the lower extremities decreases, and the whole body feels hot.
3. Appetite increases from the first days of pregnancy.
4. Nausea is practically absent.
5. There is a good mood, high performance and increased activity.

Pregnancy with a girl has its own distinctive features.

Here they are:

1. By the end of the third week, the appearance changes for the worse.
2. The temperature of the lower extremities rises, and chills are felt in the body.
3. Appetite decreases.
4. Frequent morning sickness.
5. Unpredictability of actions and mood swings.

Signs of fertilization after ovulation appear almost immediately. The process of fertilization occurs 2-3 days after sexual intercourse. After the connection of the sperm and the egg, the woman's body immediately begins to rebuild.

In most cases, a woman does not even suspect that a new life has arisen inside her, and besides, the first “symptoms” of pregnancy are quite difficult to notice. Usually they begin to appear a few weeks after fertilization, and in some cases, the pregnancy passes without any signs. Then a woman can determine her condition only by the absence of menstruation and an increase in waist circumference.

Ovulation: what is it?

Pregnancy after ovulation occurs very quickly. This is a complex process that can only happen a few times a month. Ovulation is the moment that occurs 4-7 days after the end of menstruation and is different for every woman.

During ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary. She is completely ready for fertilization. The moment at which this can happen lasts for several days. If unprotected intercourse occurs at this time, conception may occur, provided that the female genital organs are healthy. B

Pregnancy can occur if sex was a few days before the onset of ovulation, since the sperm cell retains its vital activity for several days.

The process of fertilization and the beginning of pregnancy

The "meeting" of the egg and sperm occurs mainly in the fallopian tubes. The egg is several times larger than the sperm. Its size is associated with the presence of nutrients that will "feed" the embryo when it attaches to the wall of the uterus.

When the egg and sperm merge, a new cell is formed - the zygote. It is a new life, the beginning of the development of a new person. Fertilization is the moment the zygote appears. Since then, the woman has been pregnant. A few hours after fertilization, cleavage begins (the division of the zygote into parts). The zygote gradually increases and turns into an embryo (human embryo).

On the fifth day of its existence, the zygote has enough cells and turns into a blacyst. A few days after fertilization, the embryo moves freely through the fallopian tubes and looks for a point of attachment. This usually happens 6-8 days after conception. All this time, the unborn child eats exclusively at the expense of its internal accumulations and is in no way connected with matter.

Usually a week passes before the embryo is fixed in the uterine cavity and its active division begins. It is at this time that the body begins to rebuild, there is an additional need for nutrients for the mother, and an increased production of certain hormones begins.

The beginning of pregnancy is almost the most important time. Any disorders in the body, lack of nutrition, alcohol and smoking can affect the normal development of the unborn child. Therefore, the sooner a woman finds out about pregnancy, the better.

The first signs of pregnancy after ovulation

It is almost impossible to find out whether a woman is pregnant or not in the first days after conception. The embryo is not yet fixed in the uterine cavity, and nothing indicates its appearance. But for some reason, pregnancy may not occur (or the embryo will not be viable):

1. Ovulation may not occur. This may be a precursor to a gynecological or inflammatory disease, or it may be a rare abnormality.
2. The egg is incapable of fertilization (it is underdeveloped, does not have enough nutrients).
3. Mismatch between man and woman. Now doctors have proven that spouses can not only disagree with their characters, but also with their immune systems. The body of a woman in some cases will reject male spermatozoa.
4. Diseases of the female genital organs.
5. psychological reasons. It has been proven that most cases of infertility are associated with stress or fears of the expectant mother.

The first signs of pregnancy that may appear after ovulation:

1. The occurrence of small spotting a week after intercourse (indicates the attachment of the embryo).
2. The occurrence of small pulling pains in the lower abdomen, which can spread to the back and sideways (some women confuse them with the harbingers of menstruation).
3. Change in the digestive system. A woman may feel a slight hunger, or, conversely, her appetite may disappear. There may be slight flatulence and problems with bowel movements.
4. After the embryo is fixed, the first changes occur in the woman's breasts. The areolas of the nipples darken and increase, the breasts may swell, it becomes hypersensitive.

All of the above signs are not 100% proof of pregnancy. These can be symptoms of various gynecological diseases and an upcoming pregnancy.

Many women who were planning to conceive a child began to feel the first signs of pregnancy, even if it did not come.

An accurate sign of pregnancy can be a change in basal temperature.

It is measured in the morning in the supine position through the anus. As a rule, after fertilization, the temperature is elevated. But in order to use this method, it is necessary to monitor your basal temperature even before the intended conception.

1.5-2 weeks after conception, when the embryo is already fixed in the uterine cavity, an increased release of hormones and a restructuring of the body begin. At this time, a woman begins to notice the first signs of pregnancy:

1. Severe fatigue, drowsiness, possible fainting. This is due to an increase in the amount of the hormone progesterone.
2. Increased appetite. The body needs additional funds for the formation of the placenta, etc. In addition, it begins to make reserves for future pregnancy and the feeding period.
3. Mood swings, possible depression. It is also associated with hormonal changes in the body.
4. Nausea and reaction to smells. The reason lies in the increased secretion of the hormone estrogen. Toxicosis is one of the obvious "symptoms" of the onset of pregnancy. Each woman can develop it in her own way: someone feels sick for several weeks, someone may experience severe vomiting with dehydration, someone does not feel toxicosis at all.
5. Frequent bowel movements and urination. The uterus begins to grow and occupies all the free space in the abdominal cavity, begins to put pressure on neighboring organs, primarily on the bladder.

Pregnancy test

The most accurate way to determine pregnancy is with a special test. A pregnancy test measures the level of the hCG hormone. It begins to actively stand out after conception and a few weeks after the attachment of the embryo to the wall of the uterus reaches its maximum.

It is possible to accurately determine pregnancy using a test only a few weeks after the intended conception, since at first the release of the hormone is insignificant. 3 (or 4) weeks of pregnancy is the best time to take the test.

During the test, you must follow the instructions on the package exactly, otherwise you can get a false positive or false negative result. In addition, it is recommended to use several tests at once, it is desirable that they be of different price categories and different manufacturers.

If most of the tests indicate the presence of pregnancy, you should immediately consult a doctor. Only he can accurately determine the presence of a developing embryo in the uterine cavity. Tests may be positive if there is an ectopic pregnancy, ovarian disease, or cancer. In order to accurately confirm the presence of pregnancy, it is necessary to conduct urine and blood tests and undergo an ultrasound examination. Ultrasound is the most accurate procedure for determining pregnancy. She will also indicate the approximate date of conception and birth of the child.

In a woman's life, there comes such an exciting moment when she can't wait to find out about her "interesting situation", but the period may be quite short to make an accurate diagnosis.

In order to understand in more detail, consider the main signs in the first days of conception, which may indicate the onset of pregnancy.

The first signs of an interesting situation

After conception, the fertilized egg starts moving towards the uterus on the very first day to begin development. This time is not yet pregnancy and is about 5-10 days.

The main early sign before a missed period is an increase in body temperature

During this period of time, it is very difficult for the expectant mother to diagnose any sensations in herself, since the egg takes the first steps towards the pregnancy itself.

After the egg has settled securely in the uterus, the process of formation of the umbilical cord and placenta begins - this moment can be safely called the true onset of an "interesting situation".

In the first days when the implantation of the embryo occurred, after conception, pregnancy symptoms such as:

• swelling, soreness of the breast;
• pulling pain in the lower abdomen;
• early toxicosis;
• minor discharge;
• the temperature rises;
• fatigue;
• minor discomfort.

Now let's take a closer look at some of the symptoms.

1. Immediately after conception, swelling and soreness of the breasts appear - these are the first symptoms of hypersensitivity of the mammary glands. A barely noticeable touch can become painful. In the early stages, colostrum may begin to stand out from the nipples.
2. Painful heaviness in the pelvis - there may be slight discomfort, there may be sensations of fullness of the uterus. For the body of every woman at such an early date, sensitivity to a new position manifests itself very individually.
3. Early toxicosis - the expectant mother already feels unwell, nausea, she may not like food that seemed tasty before pregnancy, taste preferences may change. There may be an exacerbated reaction to familiar and new odors.
4. Discharge - you can find a slight discharge of a brown, reddish or yellow hue, they appear in the first days of conception, and pass through the day. This indicates that the embryo has attached to the uterus.
   But it is also important to know that such a sign may indicate a possible threat of interrupting the "interesting situation" if the discharge is plentiful and accompanied by pain. In this case, an urgent appeal to a specialist is necessary.
5. Violation of the temperature regime - in the first days, body temperature can drop sharply, and then rise until the placenta begins its active work after conception. The first three weeks, an elevated body temperature of up to 37 degrees can be considered the norm. Such a jump occurs due to the release of a large amount of estrogen during pregnancy, which leads to a decrease in temperature, and then the release of progesterone, which leads to an increase in body temperature.
6. Fatigue and malaise - the reason for this is reduced immunity, fever, general weakness. So the woman's body reacts to the embryo as something foreign, and tries to fight it. According to statistics, this period of malaise lasts the first 2 months, then with greater production of estrogen, the condition of the expectant mother returns to normal.

Each week is characterized by growth and the next stage

Early baby development

Although pregnancy did not officially occur from the first days of conception, these days are the most significant and make a huge contribution to the development of a new life. The child begins to form internal organs, nervous, respiratory, digestive systems. What happens in the first days with the embryo after conception - we will consider it step by step.

1. After the zygote is formed, the development of the unborn child begins. From the first day of conception, a fertilized egg begins to make a difficult path to a source of nutrition, where it can fully develop. The ovum makes its way through the fallopian tubes, moving with the help of villi located on the inner surface of the fallopian tubes.
2. On the second day, the egg is still moving towards its target, the process is accompanied by continuous cell division at a very intense pace.
3. On the third day, the number of cells reaches 9.
4. By the fourth day, the fertilized egg takes on the shape of a berry, similar to a blackberry. The egg is still moving towards the uterus. It is from this day that all vital systems, as well as the internal organs of the unborn baby, begin to form through embryogenesis.
5. With a continuous process of cell division, cells - blastomeres - begin to form inside the fetal membrane. Their enzymes play the role of dissolving the uterine lining, helping the embryo adhere firmly to the uterine wall. On the fifth day, the fetal egg enters the uterus, is fixed there by launching its fibers into the endometrium, merging with tissues and blood vessels. Increases the level of the hCG hormone.
6. On the sixth, seventh day, the level of progesterone in the expectant mother rises, the body temperature rises. The child continues its continuous intrauterine development, but still feeding only on its own resources.
7. By the eighth, ninth day, the neural tube begins to form in the fetus, the placenta develops, which will be transformed for the next twelve weeks.

Complete reunification of the embryo with the uterus occurs on the fifth day within forty hours. The strongest connection between the body of the mother and the unborn child occurs on the twelfth day, when the baby begins to fully receive placental nutrition.

Possible dangers of the first days

The most crucial period throughout pregnancy is the first trimester - it is he who needs to be given special attention in order to prevent unwanted risks.

In the early days of conception, the main dangers are:

• risk of miscarriage;
• frozen pregnancy;
• improper development of the embryo;
• ectopic pregnancy.

The following pathologies can provoke these risks.

1. Cold.
2. SARS.
3. Infectious diseases, sexually transmitted.
4. Alcohol, smoking.
5. Discharge from the vagina, accompanied by pain.
6. Severe pain in the pelvis.
7. Stress.
8. Physical activity, trauma.

HCG - the "hormone of pregnancy" appears in the blood of absolutely all expectant mothers

Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself in advance and be extremely sensitive in the very first days of pregnancy.

To prevent threats, in the first days after conception, you should walk a lot in the fresh air, avoid overheating, hypothermia, stress, eat right, and follow a healthy lifestyle.

How to find out about the "interesting situation" in the early stages?

It is extremely difficult to determine an “interesting position” in short periods - only a week after conception. In the first days after conception, you can listen to internal sensations.

Consider the main ways to check pregnancy:

Method for determining conception	Description
Pregnancy test	The probability that this method will show the correct answer is high on the fifth day - then there is a sharp release of the hCG hormone. It is important to understand that from the first day of conception, using a pregnancy test, you can hardly see a second strip on it - the hCG level is still low, which will not give an accurate diagnosis.
Laboratory study (blood test for hCG hormone)	With the help of an analysis for the content of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood, it is possible to more confidently diagnose the presence or absence of an “interesting situation”.
Examination by a gynecologist	When the uterus prepares to receive the embryo, it enlarges and swells. The cervix acquires a bluish tint, becomes loose, moist. This method of determination is valid for 4-5 weeks of pregnancy.
Ovulation	First you need to determine the possible days of conception from the menstruation calendar. To determine the starting point for a possible day, subtract 18 days from the shortest menstrual cycle. To determine the end of your fertile period, subtract 12 days from your longest period. This interval will be the most favorable for conception.

Possible individual sensations

Toxicosis can occur a week after conception, and after a few weeks

Every pregnancy is different for different women. Finding out if pregnancy is present on the first day after conception is almost impossible. But you can listen to your inner feelings and intuition.

1. There are such rare cases when, due to their high sensitivity, some expectant mothers can observe signs of conception of an embryo even in the first days. They seem to feel the presence of a baby inside themselves, so they are firmly convinced of this.
2. Not everyone has symptoms such as nausea, nervousness, apathy - they may not be at all throughout the entire period. In the early days, they also cannot unambiguously indicate the reliability of conception.
3. If, however, the symptoms manifest themselves in a far from favorable way: severe pain, prolonged discharge with blood, then you should immediately consult a doctor - this can threaten the unborn baby.

Healthy women ovulate regularly. How to find out if conception occurred after ovulation? Neither a pregnancy test nor an ultrasound will give any result immediately after ovulation, because hCG is not produced in the pre-implantation period. After the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall, and hormone secretion begins, a test can be done. Up to this point, a woman can record the initial signs of pregnancy, which are far from always objective.

Favorable period for conception

Is it possible to get pregnant before ovulation or after it? The maximum chance of conception exists on the day of ovulation. Favorable time after it is calculated in hours and averages less than a day. This is due to the fact that the oocyte lives only 12-24 hours. The potentially dangerous period is about 8 days (7 days before the release of the oocyte and 1 day after it), because the spermatozoa live from 2 to 7 days. That is, they can penetrate the tubes even before ovulation occurs, and wait for the egg there. In this case, conception occurs on the day the oocyte is released.

Ovulation

To calculate ovulation, you need to divide the average cycle time by two, the error is three days in both directions. This method is not very accurate because ovulation may occur earlier or later than the middle of the cycle. The test for LH (luteinizing hormone) in the urine can accurately determine the output of the oocyte. An increase in the content of LH indicates the approaching ovulation. The test allows you to find out about ovulation a day before its onset with an accuracy of 99%.

Signs of pregnancy

To understand that conception has occurred, specific signs will help, signaling a change in hormonal levels. Pre-implantation symptoms of conception and fertilization are not reliable, but sometimes they accurately indicate the presence of pregnancy.

Bloody issues

Minor spotting that appeared after ovulation may indicate conception, this is implantation bleeding that accompanies the introduction of the embryo into the uterine wall. These discharges are often mistaken for menstruation. But you can not ignore the spotting, which repeatedly appear during the day or more. This could mean a threatened miscarriage, a condition that requires medical attention.

Bloating

Long before the onset of toxicosis, a woman may complain of increased gas formation and bloating. These symptoms can be considered a sign of pregnancy if they occur towards the end of the cycle.

Some note intolerance to certain foods and smells, unusual food addictions. These phenomena disappear with time, but having become pregnant again, the woman already clearly knows what the occurrence of these symptoms indicates.

Cramps in the abdomen

Also, many women indicate such signs of pregnancy as heaviness in the lower abdomen and cramps, sometimes tingling and pulling pains. These symptoms can also indicate an increased tone of the uterus, so if they last a week, then you should consult a specialist.

Changes in the mammary glands

Soreness, enlargement and engorgement of the breast, enlargement and darkening of the areola are the main signs that conception has occurred. These phenomena occur before menstruation, but at the beginning of pregnancy they are more pronounced and can last longer. Also, a woman may notice a light discharge from the nipples, this is the mammary glands begin to produce colostrum.

High basal body temperature

If fertilization has occurred, then the entire second half of the cycle should remain elevated basal temperature. Sometimes the sensations when the egg is released are mistaken for the onset of fertilization, since the symptoms that occur during ovulation are similar to the signs of conception. It is more reliable not to rely on subjective feelings, but to wait for the 10th day of the alleged pregnancy and take a test.

After fertilization, the basal temperature rises. If the thermometer is 37 degrees, this allows us to conclude that pregnancy is possible even before the delay. After ovulation and fertilization occurs, increased production of progesterone begins. It is he who gives an increase to 37 degrees.

Normal temperature after fertilization is an unfavorable prognostic sign and indicates a lack of progesterone. This condition poses a threat of miscarriage and needs treatment.

Fatigue

The initial signs of pregnancy include increased fatigue, sleepiness and a constant feeling of malaise, which is caused by hormonal changes. The body after ovulation and conception adapts to a new state for it and provides protection to the embryo. If pregnancy occurs after ovulation, immunity automatically decreases so that the mother's body does not reject the embryo, which it perceives as a foreign body.

Irritability
An informative sign of pregnancy is severe irritability and emotional lability, which is also a reaction to hormonal changes taking place in the body. If a woman is nervous and annoyed for any reason, then this may indicate a conception has occurred.

Increased PMS symptoms

Unpleasant sensations after ovulation and conception may resemble discomfort before the onset of menstruation. They are evidence of the onset of pregnancy. Severe and prolonged pain may indicate abnormal attachment of the egg, so if they continue for more than 14 days, then it is worth visiting a doctor.

Stomach ache

In the first days after conception, sometimes there are mild pains in the sacrum and discomfort in the lower abdomen. More pronounced pain appears with a threatened miscarriage or ectopic implantation, in addition to it, blood discharge occurs.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction

Sometimes the first signs of conception after ovulation are associated with dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. If more than a week has passed since the expected moment of conception, then a woman may experience the following symptoms:

• nausea, urge to vomit;
• heartburn;
• increased gas formation;
• heaviness in the stomach;
• taste perversion.

These symptoms occur when conception occurs after ovulation and the egg is implanted in the thickness of the uterus. Before this happens, the hormonal background remains at the same level and any changes in the functions of the gastrointestinal tract are not informative.

Cystitis

The early stages of fetal development in many women are accompanied by inflammation of the bladder. The reason for this phenomenon is not so much that the growing uterus presses on the bladder (it still has a size no larger than a chicken egg), but rather in the hormonal changes in the body. Immune defense is weakened, as a result, the infection penetrates into the organs of urination and cystitis develops. Problems of this nature can haunt a woman all the time of pregnancy. Treatment is carried out with antibacterial drugs that do not have a negative effect on the fetus.

Signs of conception by day

For the fusion of gametes, it is necessary that a full-fledged egg comes out of the follicle. The mature cell is capable of fertilization and subsequent division. On what day after ovulation does conception and fertilization occur? Most often on the same day, the life of the egg is short - about 12-24 hours.

First day

Spermatozoa must travel a certain distance to enter the fallopian tube, where the egg is waiting for them. This process takes about 2-6 hours. After the struggle, the sperm penetrates inside and fertilization occurs. Signs of conception after ovulation before implantation in most cases are absent. A woman does not feel anything on the 1st day of pregnancy.
Second day
The immune system perceives the fertilized egg as a foreign body, therefore, on the 2nd day of pregnancy, the production of antibodies begins, the so-called immune attack. From this, the expectant mother feels tired and weak. In addition, on the second day, there may be a change in taste preferences, bloating and nausea, as well as signs of fertilization of the egg, such as engorgement and soreness of the mammary glands.

Third day

The first few days, including day 3 of embryo development, take place in the fallopian tube. A woman may lose her appetite, experience nausea and dizziness. Starting from the third day, the woman's body begins to rebuild and prepare for implantation.

Fourth day

On the 4th day after the fusion of gametes, thanks to the peristalsis of the tubes, the embryo enters the uterus. Signs of pregnancy on this day: increased gas formation, bloating. Sensation of a foreign body in the abdomen.

Fifth day

Implantation means the process of attaching the embryo to the uterine lining, which occurs between the 5th and 9th day from the moment of fertilization and lasts about 40 hours. If the embryo does not move into the uterine cavity, but continues to develop in the tube, then an ectopic pregnancy is formed. On the 5th day after the fusion of gametes, the temperature may rise, dizziness and chills may occur. The woman feels like she has a cold.

Sixth day

On day 6, there is an increase in basal temperature, which must be measured without getting out of bed in the morning. Drawing pains are felt in the lower part of the abdomen, as before the onset of menstruation.

Seventh day

A sign of pregnancy on the 7th day is: slight light brown or pink discharge. They may occur between the fifth and seventh day after gamete fusion, corresponding to the implantation of the embryo.

eighth day

The beginning of the second week of embryonic development corresponds to the first critical period of formation. During this period of time, teratogenic factors lead to the death of the embryo. But if he survives, then he does not have any malformations. On the 8th day there is a feeling of constant fatigue, headaches and dizziness. The expectant mother looks pale.

Ninth day

The embryo, which is at the stage of crushing, reaches the uterus and begins to sink into the mucous membrane. This sometimes causes minor implantation bleeding. Until the 9th day, the signs of pregnancy are very scarce and similar. Due to the fact that the hormonal background begins to change, the expectant mother feels very tired, therefore, on the 9th day after the fusion of gametes, the woman feels drowsy.

tenth day

On the 10th day, the embryo is finally implanted in the uterine mucosa. Now you can determine the presence of gonadotropic hormone in the blood. A biochemical blood test, which can be done from this day, objectively confirms the onset of pregnancy. After 10 days, you can use a highly sensitive test.

Eleventh day

In most women, the approach of menstruation is accompanied by some characteristic sensations: mood lability, pulling pain in the back or lower back, migraine, engorgement and breast enlargement. And if on the 11th day these signs are absent, then it is possible that it is no longer worth waiting for menstruation.

Twelfth day

On the 12th day of embryonic development, dyspeptic phenomena may appear: changes in taste, nausea, vomiting, rejection of certain odors. These symptoms of fertilization occur in the vast majority of expectant mothers. At this time, the body itself can suggest what it needs for the proper formation of the fetus, so women note a change in taste preferences. They may be attracted to those foods that before pregnancy seemed tasteless to them, and previously favorite dishes cause disgust.

Thirteenth day

Changes in the mammary glands begin to occur immediately after conception, in parallel with the processes taking place in the uterus. On the 13th day of pregnancy, a frequent sign of fertilization is discomfort in the mammary glands, and in some cases even slight discharge from them. The body is preparing for breastfeeding, the result of changes may be darkening and swelling of the areola around the nipples.

sixteenth day

From the 16th day of pregnancy, the neural plate is formed in the embryo, the ends of which are connected and form a tube. This is how the nervous system starts. After this, the skeletal system of the embryo is laid.

Conducting a test

How to find out if conception has occurred and whether pregnancy has occurred after ovulation? The accuracy of the test results depends on the time of the study. In order for him to fix the pregnancy before the onset of menstruation, it is necessary to purchase a test with high susceptibility. Some products are able to show the concentration of hCG starting from 10 mU / ml and fix fertilization already on the 10th day. The second type of test has less susceptibility and notes the presence of hCG only with 15-25 mU / ml, that is, after the first day of menstruation delay.

It often happens that conception occurs, but the test is negative. One of the reasons for this phenomenon may be the failure to follow the correct sequence of the test specified in the instructions. Also, the objectivity of the study can be affected by the use of excessive amounts of fluid and the test in the evening, which affects the concentration of the hormone in the urine.

If the second strip is poorly visualized, it is recommended to conduct a secondary test after a few days. Sometimes hCG rises slowly, and the test will fix a false negative result up to 3 weeks after the fusion of gametes. In this case, a woman can focus on subjective signs of pregnancy.

Many women, especially those with second pregnancies, manage to find out about their upcoming motherhood long before it is confirmed with the help of tests and medical tests. How are they able to determine this? They just listen to their feelings and intuitively recognize the first signs of pregnancy after ovulation, because the female body immediately after the implantation of the embryo begins to prepare for bearing a child.

A bit of physiology

Unfortunately, if fertilization has occurred, then it is impossible to reliably determine this, because all the processes of fusion of male and female chromosome cells occur, although inside the female body, but completely autonomously. It is worth considering how the process of development of the embryo proceeds, if the fertilization of the egg has occurred, by the days until the moment of implantation.

On the first day, the male and female sets of chromosomes merge, the sex and other characteristics of the child are laid, and active cell division (blastomeres) begins. At this point, the expectant mother may feel only the usual symptoms of ovulation. It is impossible to determine whether fertilization has occurred, relying only on sensations.

By the third day, there are already 6-8 cells in the embryo, sometimes 10, and its genetic code is fully formed. It is on this day that the development of twins is laid. In the body of a woman at this moment, the production of estrogen increases, a slight unreasonable increase in body temperature and other symptoms of a mild cold may occur, which can be caused both by increased production of the hormone estrogen, and some decrease in immunity in preparation for pregnancy.

On the fourth day, the fetus already has from 10 to 16 cells and from the fallopian tube enters the uterine cavity.

From the fifth to the seventh day, the embryo moves freely inside the uterus, choosing the implantation site. It is on these days that a woman can find several bloody spots on her panties, which she will take for the early onset of menstruation. In fact, the following happens: after a successful implantation attempt, the fetal egg is introduced into the uterine wall, and the damaged area bleeds a little. It is impossible to determine with a 100% guarantee by the occurrence of scanty spotting that implantation has occurred, but if additional sensations are taken into account, it can be assumed that pregnancy has occurred.

After the seventh day, if implantation has occurred and the laying of the chorion (placental embryo) has begun, on the 8th day after conception, the active production of the hCG hormone (a pregnancy hormone that contributes to the normal bearing of the fetus) begins. You can determine its presence on the 12th day after conception using pregnancy tests. In addition, with a delay in menstruation for 10 days after the expected date of ovulation, you can donate blood for hCG.

The pregnancy hormone is concentrated in the blood much earlier than in the urine, and on day 10 its level is quite sufficient to determine pregnancy.

Such an early analysis is necessary if there are unpleasant sensations similar to signs of toxicosis.

But with a period of 10 days, an analysis for the presence of hCG can be both false positive and false negative - its reliability is influenced by many factors that occur in the woman's body (rejection of the fetal egg for up to 10 days or, conversely, weak hormone production upon the onset of an interesting situation) .

Indirect signs

It is very difficult to determine at an early stage whether fertilization has occurred or not, but if the following signs of pregnancy are present after ovulation, then conception can be assumed.

The basal temperature for more than 10 days is kept within 37 ° C. The temperature is measured by inserting a conventional medical thermometer into the rectum for 10 minutes. Thermometry must be carried out in the morning at the same time and before its measurement, lie down at rest for at least 5-7 hours. If the basal temperature is stable on low-grade numbers, then this is a sign of either fertilization or intestinal disease.

Thermometry cannot reliably show that conception has occurred, but in combination with other signs it will help to suggest the onset of an interesting situation.

The occurrence of unusual addictions or unusual physical sensations. What can be the feeling? There may be an aversion to the usual food, or, conversely, you want something unusual, for example, ice cream with pickles.

In some very sensitive women, these unusual symptoms may occur as early as day 3 of conception after ovulation, when the embryo has not yet attached to the uterine wall. Of course, they cannot reliably determine the onset of pregnancy, but it is possible to assume conception if they are present.

Vaginal discharge, which may not necessarily be bloody, will help determine if implantation is taking place. Often, against the background of the preparation of the body for motherhood, the discharge is transparent or slightly yellowish, odorless. Abundant painless discharge of a short-term nature, although it will not help to find out exactly about the interesting situation that has come, but in combination with other signs, it will be possible to assume that fertilization has occurred.

Unpleasant sensations in the abdomen, in the uterus can also be one of the early signs of conception.

As a rule, these are small periodic tingling sensations that disappear after 10 days from the moment of the alleged fertilization. If such sensations last longer or are accompanied by a pronounced pain syndrome, then they indicate either a threat of miscarriage in the early stages, or diseases of the pelvic organs.

Breast changes. Very often, even before the fetus attaches to the uterine wall, under the influence of an increase in hormonal levels, breast swelling and hypersensitivity of the nipple area may occur.

If the implantation of the embryo has occurred, then by the 12-14th day, the areola circles swell and darken.

The easiest way to determine the onset of conception in the early stages is to use a pregnancy test with increased sensitivity to the hCG hormone. Even if the testing turns out to be negative, and the presumptive symptoms indicate the onset of an interesting situation, then it is worth visiting a antenatal clinic to clarify the diagnosis.

Knowing what sensations arise at the time of fertilization of the egg, you can consult a doctor in a timely manner for differential diagnosis and advice on adjusting your lifestyle. But even if the desired conception was not confirmed, and all the symptoms turned out to be signs of gynecological or intestinal diseases, then you should not be upset.

Most women get pregnant very quickly after lifestyle changes and gynecological diseases are cured.
