Signs of pregnancy before period: what are they?
“With my pregnancy, I am learning more about myself and my body.”
"I don't like being pregnant very much."
"Until the third month, it's like you're not pregnant."
“It’s hell from the first few months.”
These are the testimonies that can be read here and there on social networks: and there are plenty of testimonies! However, only one conclusion can emerge: each pregnant person experiences their pregnancy differently. There is no absolute truth.
Also, while some people show many early signs of pregnancy , others do not know any. Feeling of exasperated frustration or immediate relief, this information does not leave you indifferent. However, another should reassure: signs of pregnancy before your period are not a myth. Thus, certain pregnancy symptoms could well put you on the trail of good news…
First signs of pregnancy after ovulation: fatigue and sore breasts
Of course, the absence of menstruation, or amenorrhea , after fertilization of the egg is the most unmistakable sign to identify a pregnancy . However, before the expected date of menstruation, other symptoms may occur, among which:
- intense fatigue;
- swollen breasts and/or sore breasts.
Breasts getting bigger after conception? This is also not a myth.
But, as yin never comes without its yang, good news cannot come without its opposite counterpart. Indeed, the chest does not just swell: it also becomes more painful, more sensitive, and the nipples or areolas are of a darker color. They can also widen.
However, these can also be symptoms of premenstrual syndrome rather than pregnancy symptoms . It is therefore difficult to be absolutely certain that you have become pregnant: at this point, the safest thing to do is to be patient and wait for the results of a pregnancy test.
Other signs of pregnancy before period
Having a hard breakfast to swallow?
A delicious buttery croissant can suddenly seem as appetizing as the mud and branch “soups” our children make for us.
Although this may seem a bit exaggerated, the truth is not far away: from the second week of pregnancy, and sometimes up to the sixteenth, the famous morning sickness and vomiting are joys that add to everyday life.
Whether they occur in the morning or not, they remain one of the first signs that you are pregnant.
Or, on the contrary, a tenfold increased appetite?
Conversely, what previously disgusted us suddenly becomes desirable and tempting.
Yes! Not all menstruating people experience things in the same way when they are pregnant: absolute disgust for some... or increased appetite for others with irresistible cravings.
Do you go from laughing to crying for no reason?
With the hormonal changes (estrogen and progesterone) taking place in the body, you better have a strong heart.
From laughter to tears, it is possible to have mood swings that are as uncontrolled as they are surprising.
“I started crying because my husband couldn’t take out the trash tonight.”
Yes, yes, it could happen to you too! In this case, it might be time to go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test.
Last early sign of pregnancy: implantation bleeding
In addition to late periods, there are signs that cannot be ignored: implantation bleeding is one of them.
Indeed, when the fertilized egg, after having passed through the fallopian tubes, nestles at the bottom of the uterus, small amounts of brown blood may appear. Occurring one to two weeks after ovulation , they are nothing like the blood flow associated with menstruation: they are more likely to be spotting , or micro-bleeding.
Bloating, nausea, swollen breasts and fatigue are all signs of pregnancy before your period (or at least before your period is due). Of course, a late period is not systematic (there are in fact "anniversary periods"): in this case, don't worry! A pregnancy test will tell you if you are really pregnant. In any case, don't forget to continue to use comfortable menstrual protection such as menstrual panties .
