The first early pregnancy symptoms are sometimes hard to read. Some women say that they had a single drop of blood after ovulation (implantation bleeding) and they just knew. Some felt strange sensations or fullness in their breasts. Some didn’t feel any different at all and just missed a period. What are the early pregnancy symptoms that most women experience?

Some pregnancy symptoms occur earlier than others, indicated with the asterisk*. These symptoms can be experienced as early as 11 days dpo to 14 days dpo (days post ovulation), around the time your period would normally occur.
