What are the symptoms of pregnancy on the 17th day of the cycle. Very important information! Disease and nausea during ovulation

The reproductive system of the female body is designed in such a way that, by her own secretions, a woman can even determine what day of the cycle is today. How can you learn to "read" the selection by day of the cycle?

Let's start with the fact that the vaginal discharge includes: mucus from the cervical canal, epithelial cells and microflora.
The menstrual cycle lasts an average of 28 days, it can be conditionally divided into 4 phases.

Menstruation(from the first to 5-7 days of the cycle)
Menstruation is a kind of spring cleaning. The pious hostess throws out old dusty souvenirs from her house in preparation for receiving an important guest - a child.
The duration of menstruation is on average 3-7 days. In the period of one menstruation, the volume of discharge varies from 50 to 150 ml for different women.
The first day of menstruation is accompanied by a slight spotting discharge.
From the second to the fourth day, the blood volume reaches its maximum. The discharge may contain lumps, clots and mucus - this is the corpus luteum and the remnants of secretions from the cervical canal.
On the fifth or seventh days, the bloody discharge gradually decreases to smearing, and stops altogether.

Follicular phase (egg maturation phase)... The phase is counted from the end of menstruation to 13-14 days of the cycle.
For about 1.5 weeks, the body actively produces a large amount of female hormones that are responsible for the production of mucus. Allocations in this phase are not abundant, somewhere around 1.5-2 ml per day. They can be watery or thick, slimy, with small lumps (up to 2mm). The color is white, yellowish or completely transparent.

Ovulation(approximately 14-15 days of the cycle).
During ovulation, the level of estrogen goes off scale, and the amount of secretions increases to 4 ml per day. So the female body shows its reproductive readiness. The discharge becomes mucous, stretching. In this case, the discharge may resemble raw egg white. Although watery discharge is considered the norm. The shade of the discharge during this period is richer than on other days.

Premenstrual phase... Luteal or, as it is otherwise called, the phase of the corpus luteum. It is counted from the end of ovulation, i.e. conditionally 16-28 days of the cycle.
On the 17-18th day of the cycle, androgens are taken to work. The reproductive system works at half strength. The volume of discharge becomes much less. A few days before the end of the cycle, another surge of hormones is observed, and the discharge increases in volume. But not for long. The cycle ends and everything starts all over again.

Disease discharge:

  • Red or brown spotting, streaks or blood clots in secretions: hormonal imbalance, cervical erosion, endometrial hyperplasia, chronic endometritis, polyposis, endometriosis, intrauterine device, neoplasms, ectopic pregnancy, cervicitis.
  • Profuse greenish or yellowish discharge: adnexitis, cervical erosion, prolonged bacterial vaginosis, genital infections (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis).
  • Abundant white discharge: bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis.
  • Foamy discharge: trichomoniasis, other genital infections.
  • Cheesy white discharge: candidiasis, or thrush.
  • Abnormal abundance of discharge characteristic of cervical erosion.
  • Bad smell accompanies almost all secretions against the background of sexually transmitted infections, is also present in bacterial vaginosis, chronic endometritis.

About our cycle to be friends with yourself.
1 day
The first day of the cycle is usually the day that menstrual bleeding begins. Against the background of a decrease in the concentration of the main "female" hormones (progesterone and estrogen), rejection of the endometrium begins - a thick layer of the mucous membrane of the uterus, the "feather bed" prepared by the body in case of a possible pregnancy.
The concentration of prostaglandins increases - mediators of pain, stimulants of uterine contractility. Good for the body - the uterus contracts, throwing out the old endometrium and constricting the bleeding vessels. And for us - one disorder: pain and heaviness in the lower abdomen.
Antispasmodics will help relieve discomfort: "No-shpa", "Belastezin", "Papaverin", "Buscopan". But "Aspirin" is desirable not to take, as it can increase blood loss.
In the ovaries, the most "advanced" follicle, which bears the egg, begins to develop. Sometimes there are more than one "advanced", and then, after successful fertilization, several babies may appear at once.
2nd day
I really want to be beautiful, but today hormones are working against us. As a result of low estrogen production, the activity of the sweat and sebaceous glands increases. You have to spend half a day in the shower, devote more time to your face and correct your makeup more often.
<Волосы меняют свою химическую структуру и хуже поддаются укладке. Сделанная во время менструации химическая завивка меньше держится, поэтому не планируйте посещение парикмахера в эти дни.
Pain sensitivity is still high. In order to avoid "thrills" it is better to postpone the visit to the dentist, epilation and other unpleasant manipulations for 4-5 days.
To relieve stress and possible painful sensations in the lower abdomen, 30-50 g of mulled wine made from good red wine will help. However, more alcohol on these days is contraindicated: it can lengthen menstruation and increase blood loss.
Day 3
Especially relevant is the phrase: "Cleanliness is the guarantee of health!" In the uterus, after mucosal rejection, a wound surface is formed. And the cervix these days is as open as possible, and therefore is the entrance gate for infection.
It is advisable to abstain from sex. However, if "it is impossible, but really want to", then be sure to use barrier contraception. Remember that a condom will reduce the likelihood of infections and also prevent pregnancy, which is possible even on these days.
Day 4
The "critical days" are coming to an end. The mood improves, and we feel a surge of strength and energy. However, you shouldn't overestimate yourself.
At this time, sports feats, repair work, rearrangement of furniture and other activities associated with heavy physical exertion are contraindicated. But morning exercises will help reduce the duration of menstruation and the amount of blood loss.
Day 5
The healing process in the uterus ends. During normal menstruation, a woman usually loses about 100 ml of blood. Such blood loss stimulates the body's defenses, activates metabolism, while being the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia in women from 13 to 50 years old.
Therefore, it will be useful to include iron-containing foods in the diet - beef, liver, seafood, buckwheat, pomegranates, apples, dried apricots. And also foods rich in vitamin C: meat, leafy greens, currants, gooseberries, apples, citrus fruits, rosehip broth, juices, etc.
6th day
If you want to lose weight, improve your figure or achieve sports victories, start doing it today.
In the renewed body after menstruation, the metabolism is accelerated - which means that excess calories are burned faster, fat is broken down, protein for muscles is more actively synthesized, the general tone of the body, strength and endurance increase.
Day 7
The "advanced" follicle in the ovaries, which is increasing every day, produces more and more estrogen. At the same time, the level of testosterone begins to rise, which in the female body is responsible for the qualities usually attributed to men: high performance, sharp mind, broad outlook, excellent memory and ability to concentrate.
Therefore, this day is simply created for study and career growth. Estrogen and testosterone together drive away the usual sleepiness, give vigor and freshness of thoughts better than the most expensive coffee. It's like an extra 25th hour appears in the day - use it!

Day 8
It's time to make yourself a beauty plan for the next week. Every day, the concentration of estrogen in the blood increases - the main hormone of beauty and femininity. This means that the skin, hair, nails and body become the most susceptible to all kinds of cosmetic procedures and simply shine with health.
After depilation on these days, the skin remains smooth and soft longer than usual. And the reason for this is not at all the newest formula of the cream after depilation, but a change in the hormonal background.
9, 10, 11 days
Several days remain before ovulation. Usually days from the 9th are considered dangerous in terms of conceiving a child. However, if you are dreaming of having a girl, your time has come!
There is a theory according to which sperm with X-chromosome (determining the female sex of the baby) are able to "wait" longer than others for the release of an egg from the ovary in the genital tract of a woman. Therefore, you have about 4-5 days in stock. And on the day of ovulation and immediately after it, the possibility of conceiving a boy increases.
12 day
By this day, thoughts about work and everyday difficulties are increasingly moving away, and about love, passion and tenderness - literally swallow all your consciousness! The main hormones responsible for female sexuality and libido are in the lead.
In a woman, excitability, sensitivity of erogenous zones increases, and even a special smell appears that can attract male attention, like pheromones. Therefore, some experts believe that the use of perfumery these days may even somewhat weaken our attractiveness to the stronger sex.
Day 13
The body accumulates the maximum amount of estrogen. This serves as a signal for the production of another hormone - luteinizing, which very quickly reaches its peak concentration and stops the growth of the follicle.
Now it contains a mature egg, ready for ovulation and fertilization.
Day 14
Under the influence of estrogens and luteinizing hormone, the wall of the mature follicle bursts, and the egg is released into the abdominal cavity. At the same time, a small amount of blood is poured into the abdominal cavity.
Some women may even feel soreness in the lower abdomen on the right or left (depending on which ovary is ovulating).
Once in the abdominal cavity, the egg is immediately captured by the fallopian tube and set off towards the "male principle".
On the day of ovulation, a woman has the highest libido and is able to experience the most vivid sensations from intimacy with her beloved. Sexologists argue that if a woman regularly abstains from sex on ovulation days (fearing an unwanted pregnancy) and does not experience an orgasm, then her libido can steadily decrease over time.
To make it easier for sperm to reach the egg, cervical mucus (a mucous plug that closes the entrance to the uterus, protecting against infection) is thinned. Therefore, casual sex on the day of ovulation is fraught with not only unwanted pregnancy, but also a high risk of contracting STIs.
On this day, there is a high probability of conceiving twins. If during ovulation several eggs are released from a woman at once (there is usually a genetic predisposition to this), then with a successful combination of circumstances, all of them can be fertilized.
Day 15
In the ovary, at the site of the bursting follicle, a yellow body begins to form. This is a special formation that - regardless of whether fertilization has occurred or not - will diligently prepare the body for pregnancy within 7-8 days.
The corpus luteum begins to produce the hormone progesterone - the main hormone of pregnancy. Its goal is to turn an active and carefree girl into a mother-to-be, carefully preserving her pregnancy.
Day 16
Progesterone begins to prepare the uterine mucosa (endometrium) for egg implantation, and the concentration of this hormone increases every day.
In this phase of the cycle, appetite increases, and weight gain occurs the fastest. Be especially careful with carbohydrates. As a result of complex hormonal relationships, the body begins to demand more sweets and put them “in reserve” in the form of fat.
Day 17
Under the influence of progesterone, the tone of smooth muscles decreases. As a result, the peristalsis (undulating movement) of the intestine slows down. This can lead to bloating and constipation.
Therefore, try to enrich the diet with coarse fiber, fermented milk products.
Day 18
In case of a possible hunger strike, the body with all its might stores up nutrients for future use, as a result, fat metabolism also changes. There is an increase in cholesterol and harmful (atherogenic) fats. And their excess not only spoils the figure, but also creates an extra load on the heart and blood vessels.
Therefore, try to increase the proportion of vegetable fats in your daily diet during this phase of the cycle and avoid gastronomic feats. In addition, it is beneficial to eat garlic and red fish, which can help lower cholesterol.
Day 19
Despite the fact that ovulation has already occurred, during the second phase of the cycle, the body still retains a fairly high level of testosterone, which increases our libido. Especially its production increases in the morning.
This can be used by filling the dawn hours with passion and tenderness.
Day 20
By this day, the flowering of the corpus luteum occurs. The concentration of progesterone in the blood reaches its peak. The egg cell, traveling through the fallopian tube, approaches the uterus. By this time, she is practically incapable of fertilization.
It is believed that the days that are relatively safe for fertilization begin from this day.
21 day
The concentration of luteinizing hormone decreases and the reverse development of the corpus luteum begins in the ovary. The concentration of estrogen and progesterone gradually decreases.
However, the level of progesterone and all its effects will be quite pronounced until the beginning of the next cycle.
Day 22
There is a slowdown in metabolism, which is typical for the entire second phase of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone acts as an antidepressant: it has a calming effect, relieves stress, anxiety, and relaxes.
These days we become "impenetrable" for reprimands from the boss, troubles and other stressful situations.
Day 23
Decreasing estrogen levels and elevated progesterone, possible bowel problems, carbohydrate abuse these days - all this is reflected in the face, especially if there is a predisposition to acne.
The activity of the sebaceous glands increases, the pores expand, the processes of keratinization in the skin intensify. Therefore, these days you need to pay more attention to diet and proper face cleansing.
Day 24
Under the influence of progesterone, changes occur in the structure of the connective tissue: the ligaments become more extensible, hypermobility appears in the joints. There may be pulling pains in the spine and large joints.
The greatest number of injuries, especially those related to sports, are suffered by women on these days. One awkward movement can stretch or dislocate, so be careful with yoga, gymnastics, and other physical activity.
Day 25
Scientists have proven that these days a woman has a special smell, which makes it clear to a man that a forced period of abstinence lies ahead.
Perhaps it is this fact that is the reason for the synchronization of cycles in several women living together for a long time.
26, 27, 28 days
Often the most difficult days for a woman and her loved ones. As a result of fluctuations in hormone levels, a woman becomes sensitive and vulnerable, at which time she needs sensitive support.
In the blood, the level of prostaglandins increases, the pain threshold decreases, the mammary glands become rough, become painful, the picture is complemented by a headache, constant daytime sleepiness, anxiety, apathy and irritability. Isn't that enough to ruin the mood ?!
Experts believe that sex and chocolate can be a wonderful medicine these days. However, sex is more complicated than chocolate. Before menstruation, the level of all hormones that awaken passion in a woman decreases. According to doctors, in the premenstrual days, a woman's libido tends to zero.
But in some women, by the end of the cycle, on the contrary, passion and desire wake up, sensitivity and acuteness of sensations increase. Psychologists have found an explanation. They believe that these days women are not afraid of the thought of a possible pregnancy, which makes sexual fantasies bolder and feelings brighter.
***
Of course, every woman's “hormonal clock” runs differently: for some, they are in a hurry, shortening the cycle to 20-21 days, while for others they slow down slightly - up to 30-32 days. The 28-day cycle is only the most common, so it is impossible to draw up an accurate and universal hormonal calendar. Every woman will have to adapt it for herself.
However, the general patterns of fluctuations in the hormonal background and the associated changes in the body remain. Not knowing these features, we sometimes start to fight our own hormones: we sit on the strictest diet, when the body is trying with all its might to stock up for future use, forget about the face when it needs the most intense care, or scold ourselves for being too cold with our beloved at a time when our sensuality is on a "forced vacation."
By making some changes in the usual way of life, you can make hormones work with a vengeance, making us more attractive, cheerful, cheerful and desirable!
Natalia DOLGOPOLOVA,
physician

The start of the menstrual cycle means the start day of the onset of menstruation. This natural phenomenon occurs due to the rejection of the inner layer of the uterus.

The bleeding for each woman is individual, from a large volume of bleeding to minor smears. In a situation where the inner layer of the uterus is pushed out and out, the female body prepares for the formation of a new egg.

Each cycle is a kind of preparatory process for a woman's body for conception and pregnancy.

How to get rid of a female disease? Irina Kravtsova shared her story of recovering from thrush in 14 days. In her blog, she told what drugs she was taking, whether traditional medicine was effective, what helped and what did not.

The first stage of the cycle is associated with a painful feeling in the lower abdomen, general weakness, drowsiness and nervousness. At this time, it would be good not to perform active loads and, if possible, devote more time to rest and get rid of everything negative.

Painful feelings can be reduced by the following medications:

  • Spazmalgon,
  • No-shpa,
  • Paracetamol.

However, you must always remember that all drugs can be used only with the recommendation of a doctor.

In women, normally, such signs make themselves felt very inexpressive.

Often, the cause of menstruation with pain is:

  • Genetic predisposition. If direct female relatives suffered from preliminary pain, then there is a sufficient likelihood of similar manifestations in the next generation of the female;
  • The appearance of tension in the small pelvis, due to the contraction of the muscles of the uterus;
  • Pressure on nerve fibers due to the growth of the uterine cavity;
  • Excessive sensitization of the body to emerging natural phenomena;
  • An increase in the amount of prostaglandin hormones that provide uterine contractions and pain as a result;
  • Retention of blood in the small pelvis and swelling of tissues in this location;
  • Gynecological spiral. It affects an even greater contraction of the uterine muscles, as a result of which pain appears.

And yet, quite often, critical days accompanied by pain are related to inflammation in the organs of the genitourinary sphere. In order to exclude this cause of a painful feeling, it is necessary to pass tests and consult a gynecologist and, if necessary, conduct a course of therapy.

Follicular stage and ovulation

Stage features:

  1. The next stage of the menstrual cycle continues approximately 14 days after the end of bleeding. Nevertheless, the nervous state and way of life can affect the normal duration of this stage.
  2. At this time, a hormone is produced in the appendages, which affects the development of follicles. Inside the main follicle, after some time, the egg matures.
  3. The follicular stage is characterized by the synthesis of estrogen- a hormone that ensures the growth of a new layer of the uterine wall. This female hormone creates a biological environment in the uterine cervix, making it safe for sperm.
  4. After 2 weeks in the woman's body, the release of the luteinizing hormone LH is carried out, by which time the production of the hormone FSH decreases. The hormone LH has a beneficial effect on the mucus in the uterine cervix, making it sensitive to semen. A follicle is formed under the influence of this hormone.

Cycle day and signs of pregnancy

With a constant menstrual cycle lasting about 28 days, the twentieth day of the cycle can mean, as usual, 5-6 days of pregnancy.

This may indicate that fertilization took place in the middle of the cycle, and at the current moment a whole week of the formation of the unborn child has already started. At this stage, a promising baby looks like a concentration of cells that divide and develop very quickly.

The signs of fertilization that the female body feels for a given period of time, as a rule, do not go beyond nausea, forgetfulness, transformation of tactile preferences. In addition, already at this time, a change in the mammary glands can start, its sensitization increases. But more often at such an early period, women do not feel any serious changes in their own bodies.

Most expectant mothers, on the 23rd day of the cycle, feel the initial signs of the onset of conception:

  • Unusually pronounced smells begin to make themselves felt, every morning a lady may feel nauseous or vomiting. Special hypersensitive pregnancy tests, already at such a short time, are capable of showing an unexpressed second dash, since it increases daily during conception.
  • When in the early days, following fertilization, the mammary glands are painful t, and the nipples become larger, on the 23rd day of the cycle this phenomenon will find its continuation.
  • At this time, it becomes impossible for especially sensitive women to sleep on their chest., and every even unintentional touch brings pain. On the 24th day of the cycle, signs of conception are expressed without any peculiarities. It is also necessary to understand that all women have different characteristics and structures of the body and the initial manifestations of pregnancy, sometimes women may not feel for quite a long time.
  • If the onset of the next menstruation is close, women in the position may feel slight lower abdomen and, in addition, emotional instability and nausea. Most of the ladies believe that this condition is to blame, but nevertheless this phenomenon is due to the fact that the female body has not yet "understood" - that it is the bearer of a new life.


Should you believe your feelings?

Currently, medicine has a large arsenal of tools for establishing pregnancy at the very beginning. As usual, they are true in the initial weeks after the absence of menstruation.

The emotionality inherent in the fair sex can help a woman feel even minor changes in her own body and, even before the end of the menstrual cycle, understand that all the signs of the development of a small miracle are present.

Of course, they will not say the exact moment of fertilization, but the start date of the cycle is crossed out for each in the calendar. Gynecologists will take this date as fundamental in establishing the duration of the gestation of the embryo and establish the time of future birth.

Women who plan to have a child in the family have a much better chance of calculating the time of delivery if they controlled ovulation, which almost always happens after a certain time after critical days.

The time limit for the cycle is different for everyone, but it is often a 4-week period, and it can be either less or more. From the moment of conception, many transformations occur in the female body. In some cases, they do not always appear from the very beginning, in some ladies they feel even the smallest shades of natural change already on the 16-18th day of the cycle.

How does conception take place?

The normal duration of the monthly cycle is 21-35 days. In addition to the duration, consistency is very important here. Not bad if, monthly, the duration of the individual cycle does not change. Acceptable differences within 3 days.

As an example - the generally accepted 28-day cycle. It is normal for a healthy woman to have her menstrual cycle divided into 2 halves. With a 28-day cycle, the initial and subsequent half fall on 14 days. In the initial 14 days, the female body is prepared for a probable pregnancy.

Stages of conception:

  • In a section of the brain called the pituitary gland, it produces two main hormones that affect every woman's menstrual cycle: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
  • Under the action in one of the appendages, the egg matures, in the uterine cavity, a thickening of the inner layer is carried out, for the successful attachment of the fertilized egg. The hormone injected into the blood becomes important. It provides a woman with beauty, activity and vitality.
  • After 14 days, it happens - the release of the finished egg from the epididymis... This process is carried out due to a significant increase in the level of the presence of LH in the blood, which is currently at its maximum value. In this case, some of the fairer sex are exposed to minor pulling pains in the lower abdomen. Very infrequently, spotting bleeding from the vagina may occur.
  • Immediately after the release of the egg into the peritoneal cavity, it enters the lumen of the fallopian tubes and slowly begins to move along it.
  • When sperm cells come across her path at a given time- fertilization occurs and conception occurs.

From the time of ovulation, the second stage of the cycle starts, its main hormone is. At these dates, at the site of the appearance of the egg in the epididymis, under the influence of LH, it develops, which, in the circumstance of the onset of conception, will at the initial stage protect it from external influences. In the uterine cavity, the internal mucosa becomes softer to meet the fertilized zygote.

In a situation where the egg is not fertilized, the level of hormones is greatly reduced and the endometrium of the uterus gradually comes out along with an insignificant volume of blood - menstruation appears.

Embryo and woman's sensations

The initial month is the period when not only secondary, but also direct signs of fetal formation appear. The chest begins to hurt and increase in size. Toxicosis, expressed in the form of nausea in the morning, is no longer so rare.

Similar symptoms indicate that the degree of the presence of the hCG hormone increases sufficiently in the blood. For a pregnant woman, such transformations give a feeling of heaviness and tension and painful manifestations in the gastrointestinal tract.

This is justified by a change in the hormonal background, and other transformations in the female body:

Stories from our readers!
"The gynecologist advised me to take natural remedies. They opted for one drug - which helped to cope with hot flashes. It's such a nightmare that sometimes I don't even want to go to work from home, but I need to ... As the appointment began, it became much easier, even felt that there was some kind of internal energy. And I even wanted to have sexual relations with my husband again, otherwise it was all without much desire. "

The early signs of pregnancy appear in women at different times, since everyone's cycles are slightly different. For some it is 16-18, for others - 20 days. But the main messengers of conception can be seen on days 21-22 of the cycle.

The very first signs - can you feel it?

The modern world offers a large number of means of determining pregnancy at the earliest possible date. Most often, they are reliable in the first weeks after a delay in menstruation. Emotional, by nature, women can feel the slightest changes in their bodies and, even before the end of the menstrual cycle, suspect signs of the emergence of a small life.

They are unlikely to name the exact date of conception, and the beginning of the cycle for each is marked on the calendar. Obstetricians will take this day as a basis in calculating the timing of pregnancy and the upcoming birth. Women planning motherhood are more likely to get due date if ovulation is tracked, which often occurs in the middle of the cycle.

The frequency of the cycle is different for everyone, most often it is a 4-week period, but it can be either shorter or longer. As soon as the fertilization of the egg has occurred, metamorphoses occur in the woman's body. For some, they do not immediately become noticeable, others feel the slightest nuances of physiological transformation already on the 16th - 18th day of the cycle.

The first are the most responsible and wonderful transformations

The zygote is a unicellular embryo that travels through the fallopian tube for about 6 days. Its purpose is a warm and nourishing uterus. At the same time, the ovary produces a corpus luteum, which is then responsible for the production of the necessary hormones that support the onset of pregnancy.

The introduction into the wall of the uterus takes place on the 7th day (22 - 23 days from the beginning of the cycle). Small bleeding during these 2 days is possible, but not necessary.

On the 24th - 25th day of the cycle or on the 9th day after the birth of a new life, the ovum is arranged, its place is carefully guarded, and its outer layer signals the onset of pregnancy with the help of the hCG hormone.

The new hormone in the body works like a skilled and experienced leader. All systems work hard:

  • heart;
  • lungs;
  • kidneys;
  • endocrine glands.

This mechanism starts a miracle machine, it is no coincidence that women, even before the delay, assume a possible pregnancy.

What signs can indicate a successful conception

The onset of pregnancy does not pass asymptomatically, the first signs are considered insignificant, attentive women will feel them:

  • Bloody discharge 6-12 days from the onset of ovulation, if the couple had unprotected intercourse (similar to the beginning of menstruation, but the color is yellowish-brownish;
  • An elevated basalt temperature up to 37⁰ or slightly higher lasts for a long time and does not change at the time of the delay in a new cycle - it speaks of a hormonal factor, when progesterone works to provide the fetus and create better conditions for it;
  • A sharp drop in t⁰, and then the recovery of an elevated basalt temperature. Symptoms of chills appear, the face turns red, but a sensation of heat can suddenly come, it becomes stuffy. Change of heat and cold - the first signs of pregnancy on the 20th - 21st days;
  • The condition of the breast, usually painful before menstruation, may remain unchanged. In rare cases, on the contrary, the skin around the nipples swells;
  • A feeling of overcrowding in the lower abdomen, due to the large flow of blood to the walls of the uterus, a woman can notice on the 21st - 28th day of the cycle.
  • A change in libido from 22 to 26 days indicates hormonal changes, desires may not arise at all or flare up with strong attraction.
  • Lack of sleep, excitement, weak superficial sleep, early awakening may indicate conception on the 18th-22nd day - this is important.
  • Lack of attention in the daytime, drowsiness and a depressed psyche will support the version of pregnancy as early as 22-25 days.
  • A change in the smell and taste of familiar foods, even before the onset of the delay, will confirm the possible conception.
  • The most sure sign may be early toxicosis, on the 11th - 14th day after the conception has taken place, the expectant mother may experience nausea. On the 22nd - often vomiting in the morning.

The dependence of signs of pregnancy on fetal development

The most basic changes in fetal development begin from 21 to 22 days of the cycle, and the first signs of pregnancy are most pronounced from this time.

The formation of the nervous system of the embryo affects the change in the work of the taste buds of the expectant mother.

The spinal cord, brain and heart muscle, developing in the womb, bring a headache to the woman, the sense of smell becomes acute, the woman begins to be irritated by the pleasant smells until now.

The level of hormonal changes on the 22nd - 23rd day, increases salivation, a state of mild nausea in the morning is the first sign of a successful conception. After this period, a pregnancy test in some girls may slightly stain the second strip.

From about 27 to 28 days, the signs become brighter. Certain food addictions appear, the woman is disoriented, she is embarrassed by smells or attracted, even those that she did not notice in the recent past. She often refuses to take her usual food. Spicy and salty foods are attractive.

This is how the body reacts to the lack of vitamins, trace elements, minerals necessary for the development of the fetus. A planned pregnancy should aim at consuming only high-quality and healthy foods from the first days.

If your period is delayed, you need to check your assumptions about a successful conception using a test. After 2 days, it is simply necessary to repeat the testing if the first attempt did not give a solid result.

Primary signs and a positive test are almost 100% maternity guarantee. A visit to a doctor will be necessary, and the sooner, the more calm the mother will be for the future life of the little man.
