Symptoms like fatigue, swollen or tender breasts, and nausea can show up as early as two weeks after conception. Headaches and lower back pain are also early signs.

]]> 90389 1 28 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218394/28.jpg Know the emotional signs Consider whether you’ve been more emotional lately. Some women find that pregnancy makes them moodier, weepier, or more irritable than usual thanks to the hormonal surge that occurs after conception.

]]> 90390 2 39 Tip Stress can cause hormones to mimic pregnancy signs like nausea; it can even cause you to miss a period.

]]> 90391 3 45 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218394/45.jpg Take a test Take a home pregnancy test; it can sometimes detect pregnancy even before you’ve missed your first period. Be aware, however, that taking it early may cause a false negative result.

]]> 90392 4 55 Tip For the most accurate results, take the test in the morning, when pregnancy hormone levels in urine are highest.

]]> 90393 5 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218394/61.jpg Double check If the home test is positive, see your doctor right away. If it’s negative and your period still doesn’t start, then repeat the test in a few days. False negatives are more common than false positives.

]]> 90394 6 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218394/72.jpg Don't assume you've started your period If you get your period, don’t assume you’re not pregnant. If it’s unusually light, it may be what’s known as “implantation bleeding,” which happens when the embryo attaches to the uterus.

]]> 90395 7 83 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218394/83.jpg Get a blood test To be absolutely sure, go to your doctor for a blood test. Because pregnancy hormones are easier to detect in blood than urine, blood tests are more accurate than home kits.

]]> 90396 8 94 Fact Did you know? The most common oddball food combination craved during pregnancy is pickles and peanut butter, followed by Marmite and ice cream, and tuna and bananas, according to an online poll.
