Every woman who has sexual intercourse, whether regular or not, listens to her body every month and tries to notice the first signs, trying to give herself an answer to the most burning question: “Am I pregnant?” That is why women are very interested in the question of how to identify the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation.
Any woman can experience the earliest signs of pregnancy already about seven to ten days after the conception, that is, after the end of the period of implantation of the fetal egg into the uterus. As soon as the implantation process ends (with a normal course of pregnancy into the uterine wall, and with a pathological one - into the wall of the fallopian tube or into the cervix), probable signs of pregnancy may occur that appear even before the next period when the next menstruation does not occur. Therefore, a woman who had a violation of hormonal status, had a case of an ectopic pregnancy or inflammatory diseases of the genital area, when there is the slightest doubt about a possible pregnancy, she should go to the gynecologist who watches her constantly as soon as possible. Only in this case is it possible to prevent complications that are deadly for the life of a woman.
In every woman, the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can be very diverse. The earliest signs of pregnancy are expressed in engorgement of the mammary glands and abdomen. This occurs under the influence of increased progesterone secretion in the body of a woman. The first signs include changes in the psycho-emotional state of a woman: many complain of an unreasonable change in mood, tearfulness. Many women at an early stage have increased causeless fatigue, drowsiness and loss of concentration.
In many cases, the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can occur in the appearance of a change in taste: many note an aversion to habitual food, a desire to eat spicy or salty, as well as a desire to eat obviously inedible objects (chalk, a desire to lick iron objects, a tendency to smell of gasoline or acetone).
All the symptoms listed above can only be considered presumptive signs that do not yet mean a positive answer to a burning question.
The most reliable first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can be confirmed by a persistent increase in basal temperature, which every woman fixes when measuring temperature every morning in the rectum - a persistent increase in temperature above 37 ° C is one of the most reliable signs of a pregnancy. The most common signs of early pregnancy are known to so many. These include an increase in the frequency of urination under the influence of an increase in blood levels of chorionic gonadotropin (a hormone that appears in the body only during pregnancy).
But the most reliable sign may be a positive pregnancy test: with the appearance of a color change in the test strips, we can talk about the accomplished conception and the onset of pregnancy.
Another sign of pregnancy may be the occurrence of toxicosis: nausea, vomiting, salivation, which appear for no apparent reason, and in response to the usual yesterday irritants.
But only a gynecologist will be able to give an exact answer to the question of the onset of pregnancy in the absence of regular menstruation on time, after he examines the woman in the antenatal clinic and finds early reliable medical signs.
