I totally understand that beautiful, anxious feeling of waiting to know if your little miracle is on the way. For me, my breasts felt extremely tender and heavy even before my missed period date. Sending you so much love and positive vibes.

Every body is unique, some feel symptoms early while others feel absolutely nothing till 6 weeks. If you are having any unusual severe pain, please consult your gynac. Otherwise, just wait for the missed period date to do a reliable test.

It can start as early as 10 to 12 days after conception. Hang in there and do a test after your missed period!

For me, the very first clue was feeling super exhausted and taking afternoon naps which I never do! 😴 Also, my favorite ginger tea suddenly started smelling weird to me. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

Honestly, some women claim they feel it within a week, but scientifically it takes at least 10-14 days for implantation to happen. Don't drive yourself crazy checking every single cramp. Just wait for your missed period and take a proper beta hCG or home urine test.

I just delivered 3 months ago and remember this phase clearly. I started feeling extremely bloated and had mild backache about 4 days before my period was due. It felt exactly like PMS but slightly different.

Haha, I thought I had early symptoms, but it was just gas from the heavy chole bhature I ate the night before! Don't stress your brain over every little bubble in your stomach. Just wait a few days and test!

I was tracking everything like a crazy person and swear I felt mild cramping and weird metallic taste just 6-7 days after ovulation! I kept googling non-stop. If you are feeling anxious, try to distract yourself, the wait is the hardest part.

When I had my preconception consultation at my hospital, the doctor clearly told me that early symptoms are identical to PMS. They advised not to rely on early symptoms and instead wait to do a blood test if the period is delayed by 5 days. It saves so much unnecessary stress.

Usually, symptoms start showing up around the time your period is missed, which is about 2 weeks after conception. Just take good care of your health right now and eat simple home food.
