Symptoms Can Be Heroes or Villains!Pregnancy symptoms can really confuse women. Abdominal pain, missed menstruation, breast pain. They can show up unceremoniously right after the fertile period and give a lot of hope when you want to get pregnant. It's always important to remember that symptoms can just be hormonal and as soon as the right time comes, your period will start. If it doesn't come, you can take a test soon after.

The main symptoms of pregnancy can be noticed even before your period is late. Symptoms such as bloating and stomach pain, for example, may go unnoticed or not. Some women may get the feeling that there is something different, but will only really realize the possibility of pregnancy with missed periods.
The absence of menstruation is the starting point for pregnancy symptoms. After this period, the main pregnancy symptoms can also include:
Nausea: Usually when eating or smelling something that used to be normal but now causes discomfort, nausea comes on suddenly and sets off an alert. The classic nausea triggers are things like toothpaste, perfume, but also the smell of a partner. Some women even become disgusted by the smell of their husband or boyfriend.
Cramps: Cramps are natural for any woman and even during pregnancy. Some may experience them more intensely than others during this time. Cramps can be a sign of the baby's implantation or the uterus expanding to accommodate the new condition.
Dizziness: Dizziness is caused by increased hormones in the body. Generally, when everything goes right in the cycle and fertilization happens, the corpus luteum works triple to supply the necessary amount of progesterone. At this moment the body has a sudden change that can cause discomfort and vertigo in some women.
Low Blood Pressure: A woman's blood pressure tends to drop at the beginning of pregnancy. Even in women with hypertension, we can see cases of hypotension and low blood sugar.
Tiredness: Also due to increased hormones, a woman can feel more tired and this is also natural to occur after ovulation even without pregnancy. However, tiredness is still one of the main symptoms of pregnancy.
Often, cravings for unusual or common foods are suspected to mean that a new life is coming. The woman feels like eating specific foods or develops a taste for salty, sweet, sour, or bitter foods.
Due to the new condition, problems that did not previously exist, such as pimples and acne, may appear or get worse. The increased frequency of urination is also an important characteristic in the first days of pregnancy. A woman may start using the bathroom much more from one day to the next. The rate of urinary infection in pregnant women is high, so if you experience burning when urinating at the end of the cycle it may be a sign of a positive result coming.
Bleeding outside of the menstrual period can also indicate pregnancy; some women have implantation bleeding even before a missed period. Lower abdominal pain, different from cramps, may also happen at this stage due to the baby's implantation.
Appetite also becomes suspicious when it comes to pregnancy. Sometimes you may have a lot of hunger, sometimes none at all. The smell of food can also make you feel sick. Your sense of smell becomes much sharper during this initial phase of pregnancy. Identifying the first pregnancy symptoms can help with the often much-awaited diagnosis. It's recommended to always take the test after a missed period for a more reliable result.
