Under the condition of contact with a partner, implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterus takes place already 7-10 days after ovulation. This means that on the 23rd day of the cycle, signs of a primary pregnancy can be felt by the woman.
Symptoms of conception before delay
Frequent urination.
A slightly enlarged uterus begins to put pressure on the bladder, and urge to the toilet comes faster than usual. In addition, hormonal changes provoke the body to work in an enhanced mode. If urination is accompanied by pain, then this is a symptom of cystitis, so it is important to consult a doctor for timely treatment.
Hypersensitive sense of smell.
Girls note that an obvious sign of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle, when you do not suspect an interesting situation, is intolerance to aromas. Some run out of office rooms when a train of perfume flies from a colleague, and someone cannot walk through the market where they sell fish and meat. Almost everything is disgusted - the smell of shoe polish, sweat, even the usual dishwashing detergent and soap.
Emotional "swing".
Tears, apathy, love of lovingness, irritability and other feelings can change over the course of an hour. Although many girls feel nervous and hot-tempered before menstruation, experienced mothers say that during pregnancy, mood spikes are completely different and much brighter.
Sensitivity of the mammary glands.
The breast enlarges, becomes heavy, and touching the nipples becomes quite painful. The venous network appears more than usual. Nipple halos may darken slightly, they will acquire a dark brown color later.
Increased gas formation.
Progesterone produced during pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle slows digestion, and therefore the intestines swell. As a result, girls cannot fasten their favorite jeans at the waist, although they were just a couple of days ago.
Uterine enlargement.
The abdomen becomes larger in size, as blood flow in the genital organs increases.
Drawing pains in the lower abdomen.
The sensations are similar to PMS discomfort.
Nausea.
A slight aversion to food indicates the onset of early toxicosis, which will continue until the end of the first trimester. This symptom appears on the 5-7th day after conception.
Low-grade body temperature.
Expectant mothers noticed that even before the delay, the thermometer shows 36.9-37.1 even without signs of a cold. This is considered a natural physiological response to progesterone production. If menstruation has come, then this temperature is a symptom of a sluggish inflammatory process.
Change in taste preferences.
As they say, it begins to "pull on a salty and spicy." This is the result of all the same hormonal changes.
Headaches.
If you are planning a pregnancy and expect the expected conception, you should not take painkillers, it is better to drink two tablets of "Magnesium B6" or, in extreme cases, "Paracetamol".
Discomfort in the lower back.
Hormonal changes and increased blood supply in the pelvic organs cause a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and in the lumbar region. There is a transformation of body architecture, sprain for successful bearing of the baby.
Change in appetite.
It is expressed in two extremes - “wolf hunger” with uncontrolled eating of everything that is in the refrigerator, or indifference to food.
Cold.
A natural reaction of the body is a decrease in immunity as a sign of pregnancy, on the 23rd day of the cycle or earlier, the girl may feel a runny nose, sore throat, general malaise. At this time, the body is especially susceptible to viruses and various infections. If you suspect a conception, do not take cold medications.
Increased basal temperature.
Temperature is measured immediately after waking up. Without getting out of bed, a thermometer is inserted into the rectum. Must be measured daily after ovulation. If 37.0-37.2 lasts until the end of the cycle, then pregnancy has definitely come.
Slight spotting.
This is a sign of implantation of the fetal egg, which, like a drill, penetrates the uterine cavity, and the destruction of blood vessels occurs.
Dizziness and fainting.
Expectant mothers often lose consciousness in vehicles and in stuffy rooms. Lowering glucose and hypoxia in the early stages can cause short fainting.
Drowsiness and fatigue.
Have you stopped recognizing yourself? Previously, they performed all the tasks on the list, but now there are enough forces for only two or three points. Overcrowding, daytime sleepiness, and reluctance to get up in the morning are a clear sign that pregnancy has come.
Lack of breathing.
When rebuilding, the body supplies most of the oxygen to the embryo, which can cause other organs to suffer. Therefore, when climbing stairs or while walking in an accelerated rhythm, breathing can go astray and cause fatigue.
Restless dreams.
A hormonal explosion leads not only to physiological, but also psycho-emotional changes, which interferes with sleep. The body as if signals a nascent life. It is permissible to drink tea with lemon balm or valerian tablets at night, but no aggressive sleeping pills.
What should alert you?
If the pregnancy is planned and the woman suspects her interesting situation, then the following symptoms should be alarmed:
- Influenza state, the presence of a diagnosis of angina, viral diseases. As a rule, this can cause pathology of the fetal development or its fading.
- Cystitis. Infection in the genitourinary organs is undesirable.
- Clot-like bloody or profuse scarlet discharge. This may indicate a spontaneous miscarriage when the uterus is cleansed of an unattached egg.
- Cramping pains in the lower abdomen, lower back discomfort. This indicates hypertonicity, which is removed by No-spear, magnesia or Papaverine.
Any warning signs and that a pregnancy was planned should be reported to the therapist. If treatment with antibacterial drugs is necessary, the doctor selects medications that are allowed in the early stages. Self-medication is excluded.
Abnormal discharge
A daub of green, yellow, brown color with an unpleasant odor or a curdled consistency is unacceptable.
What happens if conception occurs? On the 23rd day of the cycle, the discharge should be transparent, perhaps a little plentiful, normally a small amount of mucus. This occurs under the influence of progesterone, so the body protects the cervix from any infection.
If there is a history of ectopic pregnancy
If a woman has previously had cases of attachment of an egg in the tubes, she must be especially careful. Such a pregnancy makes up only 2% of all conceptions and poses a serious danger to a woman's life.
Suspicions should cause pain and spotting on the 23rd day of the cycle, signs of early pregnancy should also be present - nausea, drowsiness, etc.
It can be determined by transvaginal ultrasound, when the fetal egg is not detected in the uterus in the presence of a high level of hCG.
Pregnancy Planning Lifestyle
With a 28-day cycle, signs of pregnancy on day 23 of the cycle become more noticeable. They are especially obvious to those who have already given birth or those who are impatiently awaiting conception and are carefully listening to their body. Women in the early stages are recommended:
- exclude physical activity;
- do not lift heavy;
- if possible, refuse to take medication;
- Do not visit crowded places and do not get too cold so as not to catch a viral infection or a cold;
- go to bed until 23.00, as it is important for rest and for the production of progesterone;
- to walk outside;
- forget about the gym, as strength training can trigger a miscarriage;
- avoid stressful situations.
Nutrition recommendations before conception and in the first weeks after it
For the correct laying of the organs of the embryo, the expectant mother needs:
- Eat more protein and plant foods.
- Exclude alcohol.
- Take folic acid supplements. For example, Femibion Natalker I, recommended in the first trimester.
- Drink Magnesium B6. To remove the tone of the uterus.
Retraining for pregnancy
A reasonable approach to conception increases the chances of a safe course of the entire gestation period. At the planning stage, it is important:
- take tests for TORCH infections, hepatitis;
- take a swab from the vagina to the microflora, pass the test "Florocenosis", a cytomorphological study from the surface of the cervix and cervical canal;
- take folates;
- eliminate bad habits - smoking and alcohol;
- provide good nutrition.
Flu shot
This infectious disease is accompanied by severe complications - pneumonia, tonsillitis or sinusitis. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from the flu, which in most cases leads to a fading pregnancy or severe pathologies in the fetus.
Gynecologists at the planning stage of conception recommend a vaccination. A popular drug from the French manufacturer is Vaxigripp, which is allowed even to expectant mothers, young children and has virtually no contraindications. Vaccination, as a rule, takes place in the autumn period - October-December, before the outbreak of influenza, so that the immune system can develop antibodies to the virus in a month.
It is important to remember that prevention is better than cure. But what if conception occurred? On the 23rd day of the cycle, the laying of the internal organs of the embryo takes place, and various infections are simply dangerous for the unborn child.
Precautions for chronic miscarriage
If earlier a woman had a history of miscarriages and spontaneous abortions, then it is necessary to carefully listen to the signs of pregnancy with a 28-day cycle. The 23rd day of the cycle is not a reason to buy a test, but with a slight delay, you should immediately make an analysis.
If the result is positive, you need to contact a gynecologist who will recommend donating blood for progesterone and hCG. At low rates, the doctor recommends luteal support - the drugs Dufaston, Utrozhestan, etc. Self-administration of hormone-containing drugs is prohibited.
Diagnosis of pregnancy before the delay
Signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle with a 30-day menstrual period can be pronounced, and the woman just can’t wait to find out whether the conception has come. There are determination methods for this.
Highly sensitive test. Sold at the pharmacy. For accurate results, it is advisable to use morning urine.
Blood test for:
- progesterone (the norm for the first trimester is 4.73-50.74 ng / ml);
- HCG (beta-CGL or chorionic gonadotropin) - for women who do not bear a child, the norm is 0-5 mU / ml, at 3-4 weeks of pregnancy - 100-10000 mU / ml and the indicator increases every week (if after a couple of days this the parameter fell sharply, this indicates a frozen pregnancy).
Ultrasonography
It is done in a transvaginal way on an empty bladder. With a 30-day cycle, signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle may still not show themselves, but the ultrasound will show a fetal egg and confirm its uterine / ectopic location.
Late ovulation
As a rule, the egg leaves 14 days before the menstrual cycle. The late process occurs in women with a long cycle, more than 32 days, and is not a sign of infertility. When ovulation occurred on the 23rd day of the cycle, is pregnancy possible? The process of conception and the course of pregnancy do not depend on the time of maturation of the egg. With late ovulation, a higher probability of having a boy.
Signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle with a 28-day menstrual period or more can clearly indicate the onset of conception. But these will be only guesses and assumptions, because a test for hCG and ultrasound examination will give a 100% result.
