Different women experience pregnancy in different ways. Pregnancy symptoms may vary in intensity and duration - and some women may not experience some common pregnancy symptoms at all.
The First Trimester: Week 1 - Week 12
Other Early Symptoms of Pregnancy in Detail
Cravings for Particular Foods
Desiring particular or unusual types of food is a well known pregnancy symptom. About 85 percent of women report at least one food craving during pregnancy.
Implantation Cramping and Spotting
Following ovulation by 8 days, women may experience cramping and slight spotting - caused by the recent implantation of the egg in the uterine lining.
Frequent Urination
Following implantation, frequent urination is a common symptom.
Fatigue, Headaches, and Heartburn - and Morning Sickness
For many women, early symptoms of pregnancy can be a bit perturbing. Fatigue is common, as are headaches and heartburn. And then there is morning sickness - the second most well know pregnancy symptoms after "food cravings". Increases in progesterone can also cause feelings of tiredness.
Basal Body Temperature
If you are charting your Basal Body Temperature, and your BBT remains high - and continues to remain high for 15 days or more without a period - this is a clear symptom of pregnancy.
hCG Testing
Home Pregnancy Tests are available online and at your drugstore. A positive result will confirm your suspicions! Some FDA approved tests (available online) allow you to determine pregnancy as early as 7-10 days past ovulation.
The Second Trimester: Week 13 - Week 26
Here is what you can expect to experience during your second trimester.

Hello,
My first day of my period was 9/1 and I had sex with my dh every day from 9/11-9/13. Yesterday I started feeling low lying cramps in my abdominal (almost like pre-period cramps and this callmorning it felt as if my period was coming down) I am also feeling a heat radianting in my abdomin as well.
My dh and are are trying to conceive and I want to be pregnant. I took a pregnancy test this morning which revealed a NOT PREGNANT however I am unsure if I took the test two early (ie 10 days). The symptoms seem similar to my first pregnancy over 10 years ago but I dont recall the heat sensation and I dont recall having these cramps so early... I believe my cycle is due 9/28 if I am not pregnant but I am hoping for baby dust!!!
Do my symptoms sound familiar to anyone? I ran out and purchased pads to prepare for my period but then I think I am not going to need them.
Hello,
I went to the bathroom on Aug23rd and when I wiped there was some brownspotting so I thought it was my period. I then went to the bathroom later that day and there was nothing. I then started to spot (only when I wiped) the following day this happened for about 3 days. The 3rd day I bleed a bit and then it went away. Now this whole week I have been so tired and feel very sick in the evenings with slight cramps. What could be going with me? Any ideas? Thanks in advance
